Focus on club member: David

What do you do for a living?
Having worked for myself for a number of years in the logistics industry I have recently started working for a national freight carrier based  near Heathrow.
 
What do you do for fun?
When I was younger I was a keen climber and mountaineer, travelling to the Alps and Himalayan regions however as I've got older I now enjoy walks in the Chilterns and a nice pub lunch with Rabika.
 
Where did you last holiday?
I have just returned from a three week trip to South Africa visiting Rabika's family and exploring the coastal areas north of Durban. We travelled between Johannesburg and Durban with a final few days relaxing at 'Sun City' before our flights home
 
What's your favourite film?
'The Hunt for Red October' old but a classic
 
Where are you from?
I'm a local.! I was born in Amersham as High Wycombe hospital didn't have a maternity ward back then and grew up in Marlow.
 
Why did you join Rotary?
Having attended several events as a volunteer with Rabika Lisa's marketing tactics finally got the best of me!
 
What have you enjoyed most at rotary so far?
I have helped at the Burnham Donkey derby for the last couple of years, that has been great fun.
 
Can you tell us something we might not know about you?
As a child I was a keen Cub/Scout. This took me from a young boy on camping trips to a teenager climbing Mont Blanc the highest mountain in Europe at the age of 16. 
 
Which rotary events are you looking forward to?
Due to holiday commitments this year I was unable to attend Timbertown however seeing photos and talking to people about the event I will make sure I'm available for the next one.
 
Describe Rotary in three words?
Rewarding, fun, friendly.
