Denis Rodgers - I work for the Department of Defence in Victoria Barracks, Melbourne as a public servant; I have been employed in the Department for 35 years. My home is in Mount Waverley.

I have been a licensed bookmakers' clerk for the past 32 years, working almost exclusively in the Southern District Racing Association (SDRA) in southern NSW. The main venues are Albury, Wagga, Gundagai, Corowa. I have worked at several Black Opal Stakes meetings at Canberra, and at Wodonga, Benalla, Wangaratta and Seymour on various occasions.

I currently clerk for Tom Wright, a boomaker based in Albury, from October to May. I no longer desire to continue with this arrangement, due to the amount of travelling involved, and I am seeking employment in and around Melbourne.

As of today, I am available for any Saturday meetings, including provincial meetings around Melbourne eg Cranbourne, Kilmore, Seymour etc. I would be available for some mid week meetings, given sufficient notice.

As I have reached retirement age, I am seriously considering retiring. This would mean that I would be available more often for mid week meetings.

Ideally, I would like some sort of permanency attached to any work offer, but I am prepared to work on a casual basis in order to have my ability assessed.

I have been using Easybook 2000 for the past six years; I am a bit rusty in using the manual ledgers, but I feel very confident I could pick it up again very quickly, if the need arose.

I am currently licensed in Victoria up to September 2007.
