About Me: I have my mum to thank for starting my interest in origami, teaching me models from the Rupert annuals. I'm a little too young to have seen Robert Harbin's legendary TV show, but his Origami 1-4 books were still on the shelves, and I got them all. Every one of Harbin's books had contact details for the British Origami Society at the back. Sadly, I assumed that this was like the Magic Circle, and not for amateurs and kids like me. It wasn't until 2004 when my interest in origami grew again that I joined the BOS. This is my second stint on the council; I ran the old Supplies website from 2009 and was official Supplies Secretary from 2012 to 2017.
