- The GBR Olympic meterologist
- A national journalist, regarding his sailing voyage to and from South America.
- The owner of Bembridge Marina, one of the few privately owned Marinas in the UK.
- An evening with Captain Eric ‘Winkle’ Brown CBE, DSC, AFC, Hon FRAeS, RN – a British former Royal Navy officer and test pilot who flew 487 different types of aircraft.
