I have been a member of IA since surgery in 1990. Despite now being retired after 38 years in teaching 26 of them as a head teacher there always seems to be something happening to keep me active and busy. Wife of a retired policeman I hopefully have at 59 still much to achieve and look forward to in this next phase of my life and still many opportunities and challenges ahead I am sure. When I became an ostomate I joined IA because of my strong conviction for the vital importance and need for good support and a strong public voice for ostomates in times of need, a view that has not changed. My interests are travel, history. cooking, the theatre, walking, the countryside, gardening, entertaining and supporting people. | |||||

I have been Secretary since 1996/97
and have had my Ileostomy since 1983. I am an Avionics engineer
( aircraft electrician) for BA and work shifts as well as my ia
duties. Fortunately my boss is very charity friendly which is why
I can be seen with the stand at most if not all of the local open
days organised by the nurses and suppliers. I enjoy holidays in
the sun around the world and walks in the country. | |||||

| I've just recently joined the committee as the voice of youth. I am available for anyone wishing to speak to a younger person. As I am 38 years old I am getting to the stage of ageing out of the Young Person's section so really could do with someone else to take the banner for young people. I have had my Ileostomy since May 1999. My interests are music watching DVD's with my hubby and looking after my babies (20 Guinea Pigs). I will probably be joining Dave at the local meetings where I will try and encourage some younger people to come so it's not just old people there, us young people have stoma's too. | |||||
