Name:
Location: Prudhoe, Northumberland, United Kingdom

After many years in accounting & corporate finance, I became head of internal & external communications in a publicly quoted financial software business operating in the UK, USA and Australia. In 2001, after 13 years there, I branched out on my own to teach music and use my commercial writing & PR skills. Today, I give hundreds of music lessons a year to pupils ranging in age from 5 to 75. When I'm not teaching or playing music, I write for companies & the media, cook Italian food, study the Italian language, work with local schools and play golf at Prudhoe Golf Club - The Home of Champions.

Davison Cup - 10 July
An away match at Parklands was always going to be tough and so it proved as we went down 4-1 and missed out on a semi final match. Danny lost to former County player, Graham Hewitt in the top match and David Gilroy was still not on his best game against club champion for the last 3 years, Andy Carr. Geoff Ross was all square after 18 but eventually lost at the 20th whilst Neil Grange narrowly lost too. Ian Strachan secured the only win bravely holing from 10 feet on the last for a 1 up victory. At one point we were up in four matches and looking good but local knowledge played a significant part on the back 9. Danny might have done better but had his clubs set up earlier in the day and, unfortunately, all his wedges had been incorrectly set. Hopefully, these will be put right in time for his debut in the Junior Big 6 at Wynyard the following day. He will be joined by James there.

9 June - The Davison Cup is a Hadrian League 5 man team knock out competition involving all clubs from the Hadrian and North Northumberland Leagues. We had a tough opening draw away to Newcastle United - the day after we beat them 10-2 in the District League and no doubt looking for revenge! Nevertheless we managed a great 3-2 victory with wins from Danny Shevill, Denny Ward and Ian Strachan. Danny's win against County Cap, Ross Crowe who played number 1 against Shaun the previous night, was particularly noteworthy. Our next round opponents will not be known until the draw is made. We made the final once a few years ago. Let's hope we can go one step better this year.
