James Plant

I have lived in the village for 27 years. Always taking a keen interest in village events and for many years I was involved in the work done in setting up these events, be it building boats or shepherding ducks down the river. I was the Chairman of the Friends of Sheet School whilst my children were at the school and involved with the school firework displays for several years having taken over from John Hartley. I have sometimes strayed over the border to run quizzes in the Harrow and set off fireworks at Steep.

Unfortunately, work pressures have meant that I had less time to actively give to the events in the village for the last few years, only attending and not being involved. Work has changed. I am now running an accountancy practice in the village and, once again, have Ime to get properly involved.

I believe that if you want the quality of village life and all the benefits that this brings, you have to be involved.
