No matter what is afoot—agricultural shows, flag days and so on—Mr.

A. W. Hawkes, who is an energetic member of the Ipswich branch, can be relied upon to go almost anywhere and to tackle almost any fund-raising scheme. During 1967/1968 Mr. Hawkes personally raised in one financial year more than £150, made up as follows: Ipswich flag day collection with barrel organ, £45 5s. Id.; Waldringfield regatta collection, £13 9s. 5d.; house to house collection, £5 9s. 7d.; sale of electric table lamps made by him from cider flagons, £66 17s.; Aldeburgh flag day regatta collection, £25. The total raised was £156 Is Id.

Incidentally, in addition to these personal efforts, Mr. Hawkes was prominent in organising and selling at the R.N.L.I. stand at the Suffolk County Show last year, the proceeds from which amounted to about £133..
