A GOUROCK man has been appointed as the chief executive of a national charity. Alistair Haw takes on the position at the Scottish Huntington Association, after five years as national care framework leader. Mr Haw has been at the forefront of looking at ways to improve the lives of families impacted by Huntington s disease, a progressive brain disorder caused by a defective gene which affects movement, mood and thinking skills. Alistair said: It has been an honour to have worked for SHA for the past five years - meeting and working with HD families, seeking to understand the challenges they face and fighting for solutions, both with them and on their behalf.
In his latest venture, he has written an autobiography about his time in Pembrokeshire. The book A Pembrokeshire Pentacle is the sixth of seven books published by Mr Jackson. It tells of his adventurous life between the years of 1967 to 1984, when he lived in Pembrokeshire. In this time George started out as a holidaymaker, then became a resident police officer for Milford Haven, Dale, Marloes, Little Haven and St Ishmaels. This was followed by a period as an administrator working with the then Herald Bard of Wales, Dillwyn Miles, in Haverfordwest, ending his time in the county as the landlord of the Brook Inn at St Ishmaels, and as town clerk and financial officer to Pembroke Town Council.
