Dave Sharp - Halifax (Profile)
Halifax’s new President ran a campaign fought on practicalities rather than idealistic promises. Whilst stressing the need to save JJ’s bar, he accepted that opening hours may have to be further restricted. Although pragmatic, this is unlikely to delight Halifaxers, though his pledge on daytime TV access should prove to be more popular. Critics may detect a frivolous streak, however, in his proposal to alter JJ’s seating to improve its interior look. Sharp held the position of Bar Officer last year. From Staffordshire, ‘Sharpy’ fosters an image of the average, affable man in the pub. On degree completion he hopes to move into venture capitalism. Halifaxers will hope his aims for their college will be realised with similar ambition.
