Current Times - Paul Sturges

This week we hear from Paul Sturges, long-standing Council Member and current Membership Secretary.

What I have missed

I have missed spending ‘proper’ time with family and friends. Most years I attend camping events, festivals and family parties, all of which were cancelled this year. Also going to restaurants with my wife to relax after a hard week at work. And of course travelling to new places, both in the UK and beyond.

What I am looking forward to

A return to some kind of normal when possible would be welcome, although maybe life might be able to move at a slower pace in future.

What I have learnt or will be taking out of lockdown

We all attend far too many pointless meetings and waste time travelling for things that can be covered in video conferences at a fraction of the time and cost. And also I think we have all learnt to spend time on the important things in life, like checking in on our friends and neighbours.
