I have lived in Beaminster for over forty years. I did an apprenticeship at 43 Command workshops R.E.M.E as a civilian and continued to work when the apprenticeship was complete until I moved to Beaminster. I was working at ECC Quarries until they closed down then went to Brit Marine for two years. I then got a job at Westland and I was there for 33 years. I was a shop steward for 25 years, a senior Health and Safety rep and was on the Works Committee as Senior Steward for 6 years. I then took early retirement. We have 2 children and 3 stepchildren and all went to both Beaminster schools. I have now been elected on to Beaminster Town Council and feel very proud to be a member and hope to do my best for the people of Beaminster.
