A bit about me

Ok, so I've lived in Wimbledon since May 2002, so I know a little bit about the area by now. I used to live in Ridgway Gardens near Wimbledon Common, but have been living in Milton Road in what the estate agents called the Poets area for the last 2 years.

I'm a member of Wimbledon Round Table. We meet up in a pub every couple of weeks to discuss things that we want to do in the local area. We're also a member of what we call a superclub together with Hammersmith & Richmond round tables.

Things we've done recently have been:-

1. Flippin' burgers for charity at Richmond May Fair
2. Boat trip to Hampton Court & Back
3. Curry in Tooting
4. Drinks at the Groucho club, Fox club, Langleys
5. Organised the International Weekend in June.

3 of us are off to Estonia in September in order to liase with our fellow Tablers and check out the entertainment at a medieval banquet :)

I work as an IT consultant for Camelot for the last couple of years, although I'll be working for Visa Europe from September, after my Kenyan holiday.

I'm married to my wife, Lei, who was born in North East China. She'll be starting work at Ernst & Young the same day I'm starting my new contract.
