The club is sad to let members know of the recent death of Lorna Scammell.
Lorna was involved in the sailing club for many years and was made an Honorary Life Member at an AGM a couple of years ago in recognition of her significant contribution to the work and life of the club. Lorna held a number of positions including Sailing Secretary and her passion was ensuring that sailing was available to all.
We watched with awe and admiration as she took to ‘big boat’ sailing and her stories of single handed sailing as she went round the East Coast and further were impressive. In recent years we were amused and at times worried by her SEALORNA web stories but she clearly loved her life and worked hard to get the best out of it for herself and others. We will miss our friend and extend our condolences to her family.
In recognition of our respect for Lorna the club will be making a contribution to the RNLI
