SCARA 2010 Reunion Lunch

Post date: Oct 17, 2010 6:39:29 PM

A quick run-down of the schedule;

• • Arrival 11:30

  • Buffet lunch 13:00

  • A few words from our Chairman Michael Seymour who;

    • Gave a very warm welcome to everyone

    • Thanked Maersk sincerely for their continued generosity in sponsoring the annual SCARA lunch

    • Welcomed our honoured guest and SCARA Vice President, Lady St Johnston

    • Congratulated Adrian Malupa and Roger Brown on the success of the 2010 golf match and thank Lady St Johnston for the Rose Bowl which was presented to the winner. *

    • Introduced two members of the Mission to Seafarers, the charity we have chosen to sponsor this year.

  • Nigel Pusey, CEO Maersk, gave a short but comprehensive outline of the state of the British Shipping Industry which he followed with a brief comment on the PONL Pension Fund.

  • SCARA President Robert Woods, who was on a whistle stop visit fitted in between other commitments, gave a very brief address. Despite the shortness of his stay we were all very pleased to see him and appreciated him dropping by and giving what little time he had available.

  • Finish time 16:00

* Please note that next year’s golf match is scheduled for May 12th 2011.

At 11:00 we had our first arrivals and by 11:30 there was a lovely hubbub with people meeting and greeting long lost friends and colleagues. Some people had travelled from as far away as France, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man to be there. There were also people attending the event for the first time and we hope that they enjoyed themselves and will become regular attendees.

The event is open to all SCARA Members and SCARA Membership is open to all ex employees of OCL, P&O Containers Ltd and P&O Nedlloyd, whether retired or continuing in work. If you are reading this and are not already a member and would like to join then email scarasecretary@gmail.com to find out more.

We have had some really positive comments and, if you have never attended a SCARA reunion before, you might like to see this comment from one of our members attending for the first time this year.

“Really enjoyed Wednesday's lunch and am very glad that I made the effort to be there. Far from not knowing anyone I actually found that I knew a great many people and that I was pleased to see them and they me too.”
