Ulster Regiment. Due to new requirements, it is vital that leaders
receive training in First Aid and we are fortunate to have John’s
services. He is District Commissioner for the St John’s Ambulance
Brigade in Northern Ireland. John is a Diocesan Reader and for
many years was an Officer with St Colman’s Company, Dunmurry.
