I’ve lived in Sheet since 1993 when both my wife and I moved to work in Guildford. Our two daughters both grew up here, our younger daughter attended Sheet Primary School and our elder daughter and family lives locally. Since retiring in 2012, I have been involved in various activities locally. I have volunteered as a gardener with the National Trust for the last ten years, I am a Trustee and volunteer driver with the Voluntary Care Group charity, transporting patients from hospital and local surgeries, and am treasurer of the Petersfield and District Fundraising Branch of the RNLI. I have also been active in Sheet, helping to establish and then run Sheet Film Club since 2014, responsible for its membership and finances, and helping with “spin-off” events like the Film Festivals, street parties and most recently the café. Sheet is a very attractive village in which to live, and its separate village identity, open spaces and active community are very special. I hope we can preserve all that is good whilst adapting to change in the future.
