With all this on his plate, how does Keith Pollard find time to do anything else? You may well ask. The wife does...often.

Football

I am the Chairman of Berkhamsted Raiders Community Football Club. In 2011/12, we will be running 51 teams with over 600 players from Under 7 to Under 18, including 8 girls teams plus a Ladies Team, a Senior Team and a Vets team!  Berkhamsted Raiders has won the award for the "Herts FA Community Club of the Year" for two years running.

In 2010, we succeeded in raising £600,000 for a state of the art floodlit 3G artificial grass pitch at BerkoAstro, in partnership with Ashlyns School. A £300,000 grant from the Football Foundation was a key element in our success.

Watch the Football Foundation video about our 3G pitch:  Luther Blissett kicks off new 3G pitch in Hertfordshire.

I am also Manager of the Berkhamsted Raiders U14 Blacks who light up the West Herts Youth League Division 2 with their open attacking football.

I am a youth football blogger - I even find the time (sometimes!)  to write a blog about running a youth football club, entitled "Football for Kids"

If you want to see how much fun the kids have at Raiders:

And of course.........

I am a supporter of the all conquering (I wish) Tottenham Hotspur FC. Spurs made it into Champions League last season and did quite well. About time too.

Golf

  • Member of Stocks Golf Club. I play about twice a year, so I don't really get value out of my membership.
  • Current handicap - 17. It never gets better, never gets worse. Known as "Mr Steady".
  • Past winner of the Le Tookay Invitation, and came very close last year after a storming last round in which I nearly made up a ten point deficit on the tournament leader. Playing the wrong ball on the final hole put paid to my hopes. A Van de Velde moment.
  • Member of winning team in the Cape Town International Cup 2006.
