Fastnet memorial A memorial service for the 15 yachtsmen who lost their lives in the Royal Ocean Racing Club Fastnet Race 1979 was held at the Royal Parish Church of St Martin-in-the-Fields on November 8, when the RNLI was invited to take a collection; it amounted to more than £500. King Olav or Norway and King Constantine of Greece, both members of the RORC, were present and every British maritime service was represented.

Mr Baxter, who has been a broadcaster since 1945, first with the BBC and then freelance, has made several television appeals for the lifeboat service and given the Institution valuable publicity in many other ways. He was awarded a public relations statuette in 1969 and joined the Public Relations Committee, of which he is now chairman, in 1972. Mr Baxter is also a member of the Executive Committee.
