There was an added treat for three lads who won prizes in n lifeboat model-making competition. They went to Weston Park, near Newport, Salop, lo receive their awards from Lord Bradford, president of the Newport brunch of the RNLI. The boys had won the three age groups of the competition, the first held by Newport branch of the RNLI, as part of its lifeboat week. With Lord Bradford after he had shown them around his home are (from left) Adrian Punter (9), Muxlon; Careth Davies (13), Newport; and Adrian Durnell (12), of Church, Aston. The Newport branch was formed in early 1972.
