the probus club of seaford Our most significant recent activity was the celebration of our 50th Anniversary. Our Club was one of the first in the country to be set up, in January 1969. Some four dozen members, partners and guests met at Blatchington Golf Club for an excellent three-course, Silver Service meal, much enjoyed by all. Our May speaker was Neil Sadler, a retired Police Officer, with a passion for the British Canal System. His talk was entitled ‘Gongoozling for Beginners’, with the explanation that a ‘gongoozler’ is someone who knows absolutely nothing about canals, but who insists on sitting at the lock-side offering ‘helpful’ advice. Neil explained that canals really were the starting point for the ‘Industrial Revolution’, an easy, safe and comparatively fast form of goods transport, at a time that the road network was dreadful. It was also economical: a pack horse may be able to carry a few hundred weights on its back, it might be able to pull one ton in a two wheeled SBG Computers of East Sussex A family business Est. 1999 Supporting and servicing all your PC needs l Repairs Servicing Upgrades l l l Custom-built PC’s and laptops l Mac repair Broadband set-up l l Wi-Fi Networking iPad/iPod/iPhone repair l l l Virus removal/protection Data recovery/back-up l l Personal Tuition l No call-out fee Free telephone advice l www.sbg-computers.co.uk Seaford/Eastbourne 01323 887997 Call any time for a prompt friendly service We are proud to be an approved member of the Buy With Confidence scheme run by East Sussex Trading Standards. cart, maybe five tons if the wagon was on rails, but the horse could pull a thirty-ton barge on the canals. Often, to save money, the canal builder did not put the tow-path through the tunnels. Boards were placed across the cabin roof, and two men lay on their backs and ‘walked’ the boat through, with their feet along the tunnel roof. A very exhausting, and quite dangerous activity. Canal building also lead to some spectacular feats of Civil Engineering, such as Thomas Telford’s Pontcysyllte Aqueduct on the Ellesmere Canal, over the River Dee. Neil now has a share in a narrow boat, and is able to enjoy holidays exploring the network. At our most recent meeting the speaker was one of our own members, Derek Budd. Derek gave us an insight into the life of the jazz trumpeter Louis Armstrong. Armstrong’s career had started in the Deep South of the United States, in the era of racial segregation. Armstrong would often arrive at a high quality hotel, to find his name in lights over the entrance: but the door keeper would not let him in, and directed him to the back door. He was playing in the posh hotels but was not allowed to stay there, because they were ‘Whites Only’, and he was directed to cheap lodgings nearby. Eventually Armstrong adopted a ‘No Stay, No play’ stance: if I am good enough to play here, I want to stay here! Early in Armstrong’s career there was a ‘breakaway’ movement, away from ‘Traditional’ Jazz towards what was known as ‘BeeBop’. Armstrong and his colleagues were rather scathing, and took the mickey (in a friendly way) by emphasising the words of the ‘Wiffenpoof’ song: ‘They are poor little lambs who have lost their way!’ Derek also illustrated, by playing a recording to us, the enormous musical range that Armstrong had. He played a song with a note so high that most trumpeters couldn’t reach it, and yet Armstrong held and sustained this note. A fascinating insight into a great character. Our club meets on the Second Tuesday of each month, at 12 noon for 12.45, at Seaford Gold Club, 111 Firle Road BN25 2JD. New members are always welcome.
