My name is Brian Carter from Eastbourne, East Sussex. I have been married for 33 years to my wife Carole. We have four sons, the oldest who is married and has two children.  I have been a member of St. Mary's Church, Old Town, Eastbourne for 30 years and I am their Bible Society and Christians in Sport representative.

I no longer play active sports (my favourites were golf, tennis, and table tennis) as my level has fallen since I have grown older, but I am still an active dancer and an armchair sports follower.

I started ballroom and latin american dancing in the 1970's, and folk dancing in the 1990's.

My favourite music has always been country music since and this led into my interest in line and western couple dancing which I have been doing since the late 1980's.

I was a western couple and line dancing instructor from 1996 to 2002 but am now retired from coaching but have continued dancing.  I still love ballroom dancing which I mix in with my western couple and line dancing.

I am the Treasurer of the Eastbourne Folk Dance Club and an active folk dancer.
