The spotlight in this edition falls upon Greg Meadwell. One of the many transferrees in the club, we thought it would be nice to gain an insight. Here is an insight into the life of Greg:
Joined Round Table: September 2002
Greg Medwell
Table jobs: Table secretary, membership, Chairman (+ VC first), and currently table treasurer and Area Membership & Development
Introduced by: My father-in-law suggested joining, I looked at the web-site, registered an interest and Phil Clarke, then Chairman of Chelmsford 132 made contact – the rest as they say is history.
First Meeting: Cheeky – not that old! It was Archery. A joint meeting with another table in Essex. I went along with 3 other prospective members
Most enjoyable Table event: That’s tough. Either my first National Sporting Weekend (Cardiff 2003) or my involvement with Euro-meetings.
Proudest moment: Easy – being table Chairman (which occurred in the 70th year of Chelmsford 132) – followed a close 2nd by winning the 100m back to back Brighton & Warwick (I also managed to break my collar bone at Warwick))
Occupation: Chartered Building Surveyor. I am Associate Partner with Powell Williams Partnership. PWP is a niche consultancy practice specialising in acquisition & disposal, dilapidations and general building defects of all types of commercial property from retail & offices to industrial sheds and even indoor ski centres! PWP also cover all other professional building surveying work such as Party Wall Matters, design & specification production, contract administration and project management.
Table has given me: Organisation and planning skills, but also I am generally quite shy, but in table everyone is a friend.
Best Table International Trip: Finland, June 2007 – my first RT international trip – the sun never set on that party – as our ‘T’ shirts said – ‘We came in search of the midnight sun – but all we found was the crack of Dawn’ Skiing in Sweden also awesome (well the après ski anyway)
Music: I like most stuff –Jazz, blues, classical, rock / pop (Beatles to Massive attack / Rolling Stones to Joss Stone)
Artiste: Don’t really have one, but Prince (or sign thingy what ever he calls him self) and U2 are definitely up there
Song: Not sure, it changes like the wind – but for desert island discs purposes – Prince, Purple Rain; Meatloaf, Bat out of Hell and O’ Fortuna, from Camina Burana
Karaoke choice: “Sitting on the dock of the bay” or “Under the boardwalk”
Drive: Audi TT
Kids: None that I am aware of / would admit too!
Favourites:
Holiday Location: Italy
Restaurant: ‘One Park Lane’, at Westover Hall Hotel, Milford-on-Sea, Hampshire – it has terrific views of the Isle of Wight needles.
Film: Excalibur / American Werewolf in London / Laurel & Hardy (all)
Best way to spend Sunday: With friends, a bbq, and several bottles of good wine!
Greg Medwell
Favourite sport:
Rugby
TV Series: Heroes & The Simpsons
Comedian: Jimmy Carr
Gadet: Thermal Imaging stuff at work.
What makes Table “special”? The members – it’s being part of something, almost a collective, we each have our own ways and approaches – but all towards the same goal. And it really is true, the more you get involved, the more you get out of it.
