(Right) The Benevolents, a group of men from Easingwold, Yorkshire, have raised funds for the RNLI since 1970. Last November a cheque for £301.40, proceeds of a sponsored walk, and a donation of £50 towards amenities for Humber crew and their families at Spurn Point, were presented by their president, Mr Tucker (/.), to Kenneth Thirlwell, divisional organiser north east.
