It seems impossible, but it was a year ago today, the 28th of July, that we lost our great friend and 'father of the Board' Lord Bracknell, Ed Bassford.

I'm not going to write or attempt to re-write a tribute to Ed - everything that needed saying was said on this thread, which now resides in Gold:

Thanks for everything Ed. You played a blinder.

Love to Roz the family.

Was only thinking about Ed the other day. He should be part of everyone’s junior seagull syllabus along with other notable fans: BHAs ‘The Few’ e.g. Watts, the Swafs, Roy, Harty, Samrah, Whelch, Costa, Baine, History Man and a score of others who really did so much during our ‘war years’.

That's the first time I've seen what it looks like now. I've avoided it as I thought it would be too painful, and I was right. So very sad.

Was thinking this earlier today.
It was a pleasure to meet the man.
It was an honour to know the man.
Much love Roz, your man will never be forgotten in this corner of Sussex
