Hotel du Vin, Poole, Dorset
ONE week before Christmas 1928 Harry Ramsden hopped from foot to foot in his little wooden shack next to the Guiseley tram stop and hoped somebody, anybody, would buy his fish and chips. He needn't have worried. His secret batter recipe was a winner. His hand-cut chips were the best in Guiseley, then the best in Bradford, then in Britain, then, arguably, in the world.* Saw the need and possibilities(Co-recipient of the Draper Prize - 2002)Lockheed Martin Space Systems was a Gold Sponsor of the dinner. From left are Todd Bender, Mike Shaw, Nancy Fitzgerald, Dan Hennessey, Bob Wright, Tom Hollenbach, and Daniel Reigh.It's hard to tell which shines brighter, the crystal chandeliers in Savannah's Olde Pink House ballroom, or the many GNSS luminaries in attendance. Also sponsoring the Leadership Dinner were ITT and Spirent (Silver), and Trimble (Bronze).VINCENT MOSSCAPTION(S):Wake-up call For details see www.hotelduvin.com or call reservations on 08453 654 438.I don't know what I expected. I knew that the Ramsden brand went worldwide more than 20 years ago so I suppose I thought the operation would be slick and modern.With stunning views across to Studland Bay and the Purbeck Hills, the island is home to rare red squirrels and is an ideal place for meandering strolls and a picnic in the (hopefully sunny) summer months. There are a host of beautiful beaches including those at nearby Sandbanks.* "Getting was a tireless advocate of the project in the face of early resistance from the Pentagon."
