Chris was a member of the Home Hill Rotary club for many years prior to his move to Townsville. He has enjoyed playing many sports over the years and has only just retired from motorĀ bike (quad) racing. He now enjoys the safer sport of fishing and regularly follows his three sons in their sporting pursuits.
