We've just returned from JCI Southampton's annual dinner, the ' Pirate Ball'. A fantastic opportunity to catch up with fellow jaycees in our neighbouring chamber as well as guests from far and wide. Inter-chamber collaboration has been taking place again, too, as I got involved and was taking photos of the proceedings.

After gathering at Banana Wharf, the motley crew borded the Ocean Scene for a voyage of fun and frolics with the local community in mind - fundraising for JCI Southampton's local charity.
