Simon has been one of the Band's most dedicated members, having to make his way from Nottingham to Stockport (a nightmare on Contest Weeks!) to rehearsals.
How Simon never bagged a Bandsman of the Year award during his time with the Band and I for one will never know the reason why.
Simon was also one of a select few in the Band that are on the Internet (numbers are steadily rising though) and his help in the creation of this website was invaluable.

Enticing as his secret life of letters is, Simon's forays into lower-brow literature are not his only secret: he also happens to be a vampire, a gay vampire, in a world in which, however, medical advances have taken away much of the unpleasantness associated with that condition.
Simon does try to limit his exposure to sunlight, and garlic remains a no-no, but he neither requires nor desires the blood-quaffing that has given generations of vampires a bad reputation.

 Simon Jones fined for gesturing -DAWN - Sport; August 8, 2005
BIRMINGHAM, Aug 7: England fast bowler Simon Jones was fined 20 percent of his match fee for gesturing at Matthew Hayden after dismissing the Australia batsman on Saturday during the second Ashes Test at Edgbaston.
The fine, which equates to approximately 1,000 pounds, was imposed by match referee Ranjan Madugalle after Jones was reported by all the umpires, including the off-field officials, for a breach of the International Cricket Council’s code of conduct, the world governing body said in a statement on Sunday.
Jones, who after having Hayden caught at slip by Marcus Trescothick for 31, ran down the pitch and pointed at the batsman, was charged under section 1.6 of the code, “pointing or gesturing towards the pavilion in an aggressive manner by a bowler or other member of the fielding side upon dismissal of a batsman.”
