GEOFF'S PAGE

This page is just a little more about me, my interests, friends and general information.

I am 51 single and live in Clevedon North Somerset, a place I really love, its relaxed slow pace of live..The Daily Telegraph called it the 'Geriatric Backwater in the World' ...thats why I love it... The walks with the dogs, particularly on Walton Common, and one spot that is Sally and myself favourite place overlooking the Severn and South Wales.

My interests are varied, in particular Womens Tennis, which I have followed for 25 years, traveling around the World and visiting over 200 tournaments, as far away as Australia.. visits to USA, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Spain, France, Belgium,Luxembourg etc,.   my favourite players mostly retired were Claudia Kohde Kilsch (Lehmann), Marcella Mesker, Manuela Maleeva, Katerina Maleeva, Maggie Maleeva, Claudia Porwik, Petra Langrova, Louise Field, Regina Rajchrtova, plus many others.. Now its the pleasure of their friendship and visits and 'Non Tennis' holidays..

One of the biggest parts and influence on my life is  Sally... a 'special' friendship and of course our similar interests and the Children (The Dogs!!)... that also are an important part of our lives...

 So here are the Dogs.. Bunty and Billy.. unfortunately Bunty is no longer with us, and she is missed so much, and has that special place in our hearts.

Obviously with all those Tennis Tournaments, I have made many friends and a few of the 'rogues' below when they attended my 50th (No not 21st) Birthday Bash.... Also Football has been an influence, having played since the late 60'sand still picking up the ball out of the net at 51.. I play for the Rockets FC in the Bristol Downs League, in the reserves of Course, although I did have 10 minutes in the 1st Team last year at 50!!   You can visit the Rockets Web Site:-  www.rocketsfc.co.uk

Of Course there is also the family, I will not bore people with the 'family' photo's, just a couple,one of Mum and Dad with my favourite Aunty Betty and Uncle Reg.. and one of Dad as a Chelsea Pensioner.

My other interests include Classical Music (Russian in particular), All Music..a great Melanie C fan (See her page).. playing the Piano, the Countryside, playing Cribbage, Travel, My friends and the Countryside.

There are other important people on my life and have that special place... Cathy who I have known for over 20 years and more recent a fun person to be with Wendy from Belgium..
