Sea Scouts Summer Ball at The Salisbury Hotel
I knew the time would come when I would have to go out and buy a Dinner Jacket and Bow Tie. This was the first time this year that it was necessary and I dutifully wore the apparel. I thought I looked rather smart until I met the officers who greeted me. Their uniforms are neat, smart and rather figure hugging, which might have been a problem for my particular physique!

BBC Battle of Britain Film Showing
Watching the BBC setting up procedure was almost as interesting as the film itself, until we heard from Mahinder Singh Pujji that is. To listen to the personal reflections of a Battle of Britain pilot was humbling, especially as he seemed confused about our reaction to his statement about never having been afraid.

All Souls fund raiser for Guide Dogs for the Blind
As always at these events, I learn something about a charity that I didn't know before. Apparently it costs £49,000 to breed and train a Guide Dog for the Blind and cover all the costs throughout their life. I had no idea that the charity covers all food, care and medical costs for the dogs, so no wonder they depend on charitable giving.
