Mrs. R. H. Robinson, of Reigate, who for 20 years was the District Organising Secretary for the R.N.L.I, in south east England, retired at the end of last year. Committee members of the 160 branches in the south east district subscribed to a fund to mark her retirement, the total given being £200.

Mrs. Marie Wood, secretary of the Caterham and district branch, who made the presentation, said there were many 'fabulous letters and tributes' to Mrs. Robinson. After quoting from several of them, Mrs. Wood said as a permanent record she proposed having all these 'wonderful letters' bound by a craftsman so that Mrs.

Robinson in later life would have them to remind her of just how much her work was appreciated..
