Laying Up Lunch
Sun 22nd November 2009
The Laying-up Lunch was held at the Spinnaker Inn and Hotel.
About 60 of us were there, including Brian Campbell-James, one of the founder members of the Seal Association, now probably
our oldest member. After a good roast lunch Ken Surplice said a few words, and presented the Angus Primrose Memorial Trophy
- for meritorious achievement in an Angus Primrose designed
boat - to David Bamber, in recognition of his enthusiasm of getting to many Solent area events in his Eastbourne-based Seal
28 Sea Lady.

When I was pregnant with Paul 11 years ago, we were on a Parker 275 in Dartmouth going up the river to lunch with loads of us on one boat. Someone commented that Kate, our 3 year old daughter then, was the youngest, and Brian was the eldest. So, we had a photo then. So today, Paul was the youngest there, and Brian is by far the eldest at 92, so it’s a good combination.
