Personal message:

Thanks for helping me celebrate my retirement. In answer to the question "what next", I have to say I don't know yet. I'll certainly enjoy spending more time with my wife Enid and our daughter Suzi, as well as the occasional round of golf and watching a bit more rugby, football and cricket. And further employment is not out of the question either!

I'd like to mark the occasion with a meaningful, and memorable, event - hence this charity fundraising webpage. I have chosen a local charity, Harris HospisCare, which is based near my home and does great work providing specialist care for the terminally ill in Orpington/Bromley.

Donating through this site is simple, fast, secure and tax efficient. If you would like to donate the price of a pint it would be much appreciated - feel free to add a few words if you wish.

Thanks and best wishes Bob
