Paul marshalling bellboats at bodwarts

Focus on Paul Binnie

"The Big Man " Tony Thompson

Tony on Paul:
He is far too big. If I say no to him then I am likely to be clobbered. But seriously Paul's heart is as big as his stature and has become a great asset to our band of leaders.

Paul and I first met several years ago and I was blissfully unaware that Paul is qualified in many of the things that we do already and just needed a push to get him into the group. His humour and enthusiasm is infectious. As a former NTC member he has many water skills especially when it comes to capsizing boats.
