Personal Interests

 Alan is a Producer and Lighting Director at Erith Playhouse. There are about twelve productions a year, each production runs from Monday to Saturday for a week at a time. The theatre is non-professional and of a very high standard. E-mail us if you would like a copy of the current production schedule. Pamela is lighting co-ordinator and regularly helps out on Sound. See the Hotlinks above.

 YOUTH CENTRE

Alan was Chairman of the Management Committee of Northumberland Heath Youth Centre, one of seven Youth Centres in the London Borough of Bexley. Below are some drawings showing our proposed new Youth Centre. There is some exciting Youth Work being carried out in Northumberland Heath at present, including detached Youth Work and also the Princes Trust Volunteers. Unfortunately the Youth Service in Bexley is now going through a lean period.

            ORGAN

 Pam & Alan's previous church has recently had the Robert Spurden Rutt 2 Manual and Pedal, 4 rank extension Organ overhauled by Martin Cross of Grays in Essex. Included is a new two rank mixture. The organ has electric action and is over 60 years old. It should now be good for another 60 years. The instrument is unusual in that it is totally enclosed in two swell boxes. This has the advantage of keeping the pipework clean! I can send you a brochure about the Organ if you are interested.

Alan is now Organist and Choirmaster at St. Michael's Church, Wilmington, near Dartford and Pam sings in the Choir. We both play in the Music Group.

The Organ at Wilmington is dated 1912 and is a three manual and pedal instrument with pneumatic action by Norman & Beard.

 We are both interested in Fine Wines. Our cellar is rather depleted at present due to the high price of Bordeaux Clarets. We like to drink Australian wines (Tyrrells), Riojas and Italian wines. We also like Vintage Port and German white wines especially for dessert  - Auslesen and Trockenbeerenauslesen.
