MR. FRANKIE VAUGHAN, the well- known popular singer, opened a new life-boat display centre at 167 King's Road Arches, Brighton, on the 23rd of July, 1960. The centre contains a number of life-boat models, and on display at the opening was one of the Plymouth life-boat, which won the first prize in a model makers' competi- tion at the last National Boat Show.

Articles of equipment used in life- boats, photographs and a number of items of historical interest are displayed in the centre, and souvenirs and book- lets are on sale. The display centre was created largely by the efforts of voluntary workers of the Brighton branch..
