Andy Brocklebank - Treasurer

Andy Brocklebank became a volunteer following retirement from full-time work in 2003.  After a short time a post of treasurer became vacant and he stepped into the job, which he has held ever since.

Andy now lives with his wife in Cranfield, having moved just over a year ago from Lower Shelton.  He first came to this part of the world in 1981 when, as an RAF supply officer, he was posted to the now closed RAF Cardington.  Following a short spell in the Falklands, and three years at Henlow, he retired from the RAF in 1988. A 5-year spell as proprietor of a model shop followed, then a similar stretch as a storeman in the Beds Police HQ, Kempston. Andy has two daughters and 6 grandchildren.
