(Left) E. Mangold (r.) was presented with a plaque earlier this year by George Powell, organising secretary North London. Mr Mangold, who is in his mid 70s, has raised £925 for the RNLI since he first collected for Wood Green Branch in 1974; £250 during lifeboat week that year, £427 in lifeboat week 1975 and the remaining £248 in a Christmas goodwill gift collection.
