Notable/favourite roles at the Field Days in the past:
My favourite role has been as the Office Secretary and setting up the static display area each year. Planning it on paper then to see it all setup on the site, it is amazing.

At home doing some craft work, which I enjoy very much. I also enjoy keeping up with my family’s activities.
I still have an interest in the Field Days, there has been so many changes over the years for the benefit of the organization. We always move forward overall it has been an interesting experience.
