Coach's Biography: Mike Parnaby

I have played PBM games for over 30 years but have tended to stick to traditional pen and paper, snail mail games until recently. I have never really been interested in computer based, online games until very recently, but exactly why I have stayed away from MSWL for so long baffles me! Anyway, I am here now and hope to stay for quite some time! 

I live in north east England in a small market town called Guisborough, a little to the south of Middlesbrough. I have reached the grand old age of 61 (as of 2025) and am married to Laura and have a 23 year old son, Matthew, and two lovely grand-daughters. I work for the local council in Social Services where I help distribute funds to people who are vulnerable and have specific care needs.

I also enjoy painting, and am trying to learn the joys of watercolours. Its tricky but enjoying the process and it helps me relax a bit!
