Norm's early days of volunteering started in a small country town where he was a farm worker and shearer - volunteering in various sporting organisations within the community.
On returning to the city in the mid 70's Norm started and ran his own business and continued with his volunteering using his business skills in the many positions he held. Apart from sporting organisations Norm has also volunteered with aged care day centres and has worked as an activities officer for young people with disabilities - a major highlight for him.
Norm loves nothing better than sharing time with his family and fixing and making almost anything that comes his way. He has a caravan and four wheel drive and has been exploring Australia with his wife and now spends much of the winter months re-charging his batteries in the northwest.
