I am a third generation Farmer, a mostly arable farm until the late 80s when I diversified half the farm into leisure activities with the onset of set a side. Now we have full 18 hole Golf Course, whilst keeping 200 acres of Arable land, which in the process of going Organic. As I followed my father and grandfather, I am hoping that my son Tim and grandson Oscar (Oscars great grandfather Maurice Allom was an English Test player before the last War) may follow me. My daughter Tessa is working with me on the Farm conversion programme.

My knowledge of local Government has been mainly through my wife Janet, who for the past 36 years has been a District and Parish Councillor.The time since my election in a bye-election has taught me a lot regarding the works of the County Council although obviously there is more to learn.

My outside interests are cricket at Ebernoe, windsurfing at Chichester Lakes and cycling on a regular basis. In 2005 I completed a solo ride from Petworth to our house in central Portugal, a total of 1050 miles in 11 days.
