Mark Pigott

A memorable part of Mark’s childhood, in Sydney in the sixties, was spent queuing up in George Street to watch the latest movies. Mark remains an avid cinema and theatre goer, and believe that the essentials of great drama remain the same in both “genres”.

Mark’s other interests are photography, cricket and rugby. He is happy to discuss the finer points of swing bowling at any time.
