After the Weeley Festival in Essex, where thousands of pop fans congregated, a letter was received by The Daily Telegraph enclosing a cheque for £5 for the R.N.L.I. It was explained by the senders, Mr. Peter F. Amott and Mr.

Ivan Mant, of Davis Road, Acton, London, that the money was sent 'as a gesture' for the inconvenience caused when fireworks were discharged to herald the appearance of Stray.

Apparently life-boats from Walton, Clacton and Margate, together with the Coastguard helicopter from Mansion, went out on 30th August as a result of the Weeley fireworks. The cost to the R.N.L.I, alone was. of course, much in excess of £5..
