This outing was attended by over 300 Laing staff and family members from contracts scattered across the South-Western area, with coaches setting off from nine different starting points. During the day, some people took a boat trip to Portland Harbour where they were able to board H.M.S. Anson. Others took part in beach games and donkey rides, and lunch was served at the Clinton Restaurant.
