Jamie has been a GP for more than 30 years.

Jamie graduated from the University of Tasmania and undertook his pre-specialist training in Melbourne. After spending a number of years serving with the Royal Australian Navy he spent time at the Monash Medical Centre completing rotations in Obstetrics, ED and ICU before undertaking specialist training in General Practice.

He has been a partner at Box Hill Medical Centre, clinical assistance in Obstetrics at St George’s in Kew and has spent 18 years at Cabrini Hospital in Malvern setting up various services including the Staff Clinic, the Hospital in the Home Unit and the Cabrini owned general practice in South Caulfield.

Outside of work, he is active in the local community, enjoys a round of golf and spending quality time with his wife, children and new grandchild.

Peter and his family Moved to Melbourne from Brisbane in 1994 for work. He worked in the Banking and Property Finance industry for over 40 years. He then worked for a large Melbourne based family involved primarily in the land development industry. He & Bronwyn bought a block of land in Barwon Heads in 2010 and built on it in 2015. After retiring at the end of 2020 they spend most of his time in Barwon Heads. They have three daughters and their family live in Geelong.

Peter enjoys golf and making a positive contribution to the community.

An aspiring Golf Pro ( in my dreams ) I am passionate about Golf and the BGGC. I have recently returned as Club Captain and I’m committed to seeing that Golf and the overall viability of the club remain strong into the future for years to come. I’m a local who really enjoy’s what the club has to offer and enjoy gathering with friends at the Tin Shed.

Since school in NZ I’ve had many and varied jobs. Started in the Forestry 3 yrs, trainee manager motor specialties. Forest Products leading hand, Tirau Pub. ”AUS” strip club bouncer. Pub in ST Kilda. Spare parts again. Plasterer. Then last 35 yrs as an owner driver in 6 trucks in total, now thankfully Retired.

I was born and educated in Geelong, and my family has had a strong connection with Barwon Heads since the early 1930’s. I have lived here full-time since 2008.

While my working life has been primarily in banking and finance, I have always enjoyed making a practical contribution to my community. This has included (in my younger years) boundary umpiring for Geelong Amateurs (then in the VAFA), as well as serving on various committees for United Way (now Give Where You Live). I am a former President, District Governor, and a Life Member of APEX Geelong.

My passion is red wine. My interest in, and knowledge of, wine has evolved over many years, including working in the liquor industry in various roles.

I have been a member of BGGC for a few years now and enjoy its friendly and welcoming environment.  I hope to make a useful contribution to The Tin Shed community.

I’m a Shepparton girl and after finishing my secondary schooling at Shepparton High School, I went on to become an educator. I began my career as a Primary School Teacher and followed this with 10 years working in Special Education.

I moved from Shepparton to Ocean Grove in 2016 and took on a position as a Campus Principal at Northern Bay College in Geelong. I resigned from the Department of Education in 2019 and joined the Valad Solutions school review team in 2020.

I have two daughters and four grandchildren living close by and am currently working on finding that elusive work-life balance that many people my age are striving for.

I enjoy my fitness and sporting activities.

I’m looking forward to being involved in and contributing to the Tin Shed committee.
