What qualifications’ did you get when leaving School, College or University?
I got 365 City & Guilds English and Maths, CPVE Business Studies.
As you know I interviewed you about a year ago about your Ancestry group at BITMO GATE, for South Leeds Life. What’s been the most enjoyable moments running the group in that year?
Seeing people’s reactions when they find out about their Ancestors and also seeing the group grow and become more popular.
Could you please tell me more about the other volunteer groups you either run, or volunteer for?
I also volunteer on Belle Isle and Middleton In Bloom, the Belle Isle Summer Gala Committee. Windmill PTA.
What do think your biggest achievement is since joining the various volunteer groups are at Bitmo gate?
My confidence has grown a lot.
What’s your favourite food and drink as you probably know mines Indian and real ale?
Roast dinners and white wine and lemonade.
I know you suffer from Ill health, but If you could have a Holiday anywhere in the world, and free of pain where would it be and why?
I would love to go on a narrow boat cruise around England. England got some of the best views especially Yorkshire.
How did you feel when told by Carla about being shortlisted, nominated for Tenant of the year?
I was absolutely over the moon, I couldn’t believe it. I even cried. I honestly don’t know how Carla managed to write 12000 words about me. It’s an honour just to be nominated.
Quote: Kenneth Ingram. “Thank you Julie for taking the time for this interview. Best of luck at the Awards in Manchester, please let me know how you got on, on your return.”
