| Gary & Sally Prince with Bertie |
They married in 1996 in the Midlands and moved first to Wareham in 2000 and then across to Barton on Sea in 2003. Living in Farm Lane South until 2021, they then moved a few hundred yards as the crow flies to a ‘project’ in Danes Close.
Gary went into the Royal Signals as a boy soldier which is where he started to play golf. In his late 20’s he decided golf was to be his career and worked at various clubs as an assistant pro, taking his first role as Head Professional at Branston Golf and Country Club in February where he met Sally who was a leisure member. Married in 1996 as the second time for both, Gary has a son, Daniel who still lives and runs two very successful businesses on the Fylde Coast.
Gary’s job took him to Wareham Golf Club and the finally Barton on Sea Golf Club as the Manager from 2003 to 2009.
Sally went into estate agency after leaving college eventually moving into new homes where she worked for several major developers over her 35 year career.
In 2018 Sally retired and joined Gary - they now split the responsibilities on a daily basis with Gary looking after bookings and Sally looking after the book-keeping and invoicing. However, in the run up to publication it is all hands on deck to layout and proof read before sending to print.
Gary still enjoys his golf, though no longer a professional, he plays in the UK Seniors Golf and regularly at Brockenhurst. During lockdown he took up cycling which he still enjoys.
Sally doesn’t play golf, although she comes from a golfing family- her main hobby is singing. Over the years she has sung in musicals and operettas in the Midlands but in the last 20 or so years has performed with Zing, Encore, Lymington Choral Society, New Forest Orchestra, Lymington Town band, Total Voice Chamber Choir and now Milford Choralia. Gary also has a fine singing voice but at the moment has too many demands on his time.
Their shared passion is their Bernese Mountain Dog, Bertie who is a great source of joy to them and keeps them on their toes!
Gary & Sally say that their aims for The Village Voice are to continue the excellent work of our predecessors Sue and Jacqui and to follow the same goals that they have for all of their magazines:
to inform and entertain local residents, to help local groups and charities publicise their activities and events, and to help local businesses promote their services to the local community.
Today their seven publications include The Village Voice, Lymington Directory, Barton Bugle, New Milton Mail, Highcliffe Herald East & West, and New Milton Mercury.
If Gary & Sally can help you in any way they would love to hear from you.
