The Norwood and district branch of the R.N.L.I, launched in August the first issue of their newsletter Lifelines.

The newsletter contains the first of a series of articles on gold medal rescues, the inaugural one being an account of the wreck of the Indian Chief in 1881 off Ramsgate, Kent.

Lifelines is available free to all members of the Norwood and district branch of the R.N.L.I., and membership costs 25p per year. Applications for membership should be made to the honorary secretary, Mr. R. J. Wright, Bank Flat, 341 Norwood Road, S.E.27..
