  • BARRY HOLLAND Honorary Editor
    THE SEVEN SEAS MAGAZINE The Official Organ of the Seven Seas Club Volume 10, No 5 AUTUMN 2007 EDITORIAL: Another huge chunk of time has disappeared since the last edition. Strange, isn't it, that, when we're very young, the next school playtime seems to be a lifetime away - then, fifty, sixty, seventy years down the line, ten years appear to go as quickly as a school playtime!! Sad to say, we have lost more old Shipmates in the intervening months. Our thoughts are with their loved ones - and many of us treasure happy memories of the departed, and are privileged to have known them. Whilst on a whisky tour in June, I was lucky enough to get to John O'Groats - for the first time in my life. What a beautiful place - and what a wonderful sunset had been arranged to coincide with our visit. Lynne and I are off to Cornwall very soon, and I look forward to having been to J O'G and Land's End in the same calendar year - without having had to walk, or cycle, or ride on a donkey to do it!! I hope that you have enjoyed the start to the current "season", and that you will get much pleasure from the events scheduled over the next few months. Please keep your magazine contributions coming - they are always welcome. BARRY HOLLAND Honorary Editor Congratulations to Richard Shuttleworth on being the first to take away the crossword prize - he is the only person outside of the Pinner family to win anything via the magazine since I became Editor.
