I am 32 years old, married with two relatively young children. I worked in
the University of Newcastle Department of Pathology as a Senior Registrar,
and have recently been appointed a Consultant in Durham which in itself is
relatively time consuming ! Before coming to the North East in April of last
year I had spent seven years serving with Her Majesties Forces, as a Doctor,
in both Germany and London. My other interests beside wargames are American
football and other American sports ( I almost emigrated !!! ) plus computers
and comic collecting.
I have been gaming since about 1975 and prefer Avalon Hill multiplayer games,
in particular Republic of Rome, but also enjoy the Impulse games and games on
the American Civil War. I was previously a member of a club in Manchester and
have been an AHIKS member for several years (indirectly through which I met
Alan). 
I very much like to play Machiavelli and am currently GM-playing a game in
which Alan is France using the same encryption system. You can bet I'll be
checking the validity of Alan's orders in this one, as he does mine in that
game. I'm also in a game of Republic of Rome with Alan but that's at a very
early stage and mostly stalled.

I will always happily listen to any amicable plans or threats ( I'm just more
likely to listen to the former) and hope favourable communications can be
established with each of you.

With my kindest regards
