Mines Rescue

I was a part time mines rescue brigade's man while working for British Coal. I was a member of the Sutton Manor competition team winning the National trophy for three consecutive years from 1988 until the mine closed.

Seen below is myself in the rescue team together fellow team members - Jeff Weldon, Jimmy Darwin, Steve Simm, Steve Green and Lol Boyd
