Mr David F. Aubrey, honorary secretary of the Port Talbot ILB station, writes: "The Mayor on December 8, 1972, invited the crew for tea in his parlour, and during the afternoon lie agreed to sign up for Shoreline and gave the project his blessing. He posed for this photograph and kindly agreed to let us use his name in the publicity write-ups in the local papers. We hope to claim that he might be the first Welsh mayor to join.' Those present (left to right) were Clive Cirton (crew), Don Price (crew), Brynley Rees (committee), the Rev Lionel Webber (crew), John Rees (crew), Jeff David (swimmer), Bill Doubly (helper), Walford Davies (helper), Brian Makinson (crew), and Huw Anthony (crew).
