THE MAIN SHORELINE office has now moved from Salisbury to the new Headquarters building at Poole. This has entailed the movement of records and equipment and changes in clerical staff.

While we are, of course, making every effort to maintain our normal service, we hope that members will understand if any delay or difficulty arises.

* * * We are often asked by members whether there is any additional way in which they can help the Institution. For those who feel they would like to take their support a stage further, therefore,by joining in local fund raising activities, we are printing on this page a list of all our district organising secretaries. If you feel you would like to help, please get in touch with the one nearest to you; you will be assured of a warm welcome.

* * * Many branches and guilds have been making excellent strides in recruiting for Shoreline. One branch which deserves our special thanks for the results they have achieved is Henley-on- Thames; new members are enrolled as they pass through the locks on their way up and down the river.

* * * We were delighted to receive news recently from BP Chemicals International of Piccadilly that when a member of its staff was leaving he chose as his farewell gift a Shoreline membership subscription. He is anxious to fly the RNLI flag on his boat.

* * * More news of American support: Thomas E. Simmons, a seafood restaurant owner from Gulfport, Mississippi, was on holiday in this country with his wife when he spotted an RNLI collecting box in the South of England.Thinking they would like to take one home with them, they started to try to track one down as they travelled up country. Eventually Mr and Mrs Simmons found their way into our York office, enrolled as members of Shoreline and arranged to take a metal collecting box to fix permanently in a prominent place in their restaurant. The proceeds will be remitted annually to Head Office.
