As regular readers know we are all volunteers and so we have normal 'day jobs'; mine is the exciting world of town planning.
We'll anyway I was at a training course today 'up country' and one of the presentations was on Community Land Trusts - basically volunteers within the community get together to organise and build low cost homes in their community for the community. Great idea all around.
So I'm sitting there and the presenter provides an example of one such community land trust from down south - Worth Matravers - a small village to the west of Swanage. Next thing I know there is a photo up on the projector showing the Worth Matravers Community Land Trust Members and I suddenly spot 'two ugly mugs' that I recognise.
It's only St Alban's Coastguards John Bugler and Jon Evans. Not only do they volunteer for HMCoastguard but they also volunteer their time and energy to try and achieve housing for their community.
Round of applause all round for those two!
