* * * After completing the draws for the lottery, David Webb turned to another drum to draw the winning tickets in the Southern District raffle for a Mini car which had raised more than £18,000 for the Mountbatten of Burma lifeboat appeal. The Mini City had been supplied by Bromley Motor Works and paid for by an anonymous donor; it had been transported round the district on a trailer lent by Car Transport Ltd.

Seven other prizes had also been donated, including cross Channel ferry tickets for car and two passengers from P and O Ferries and Townsend Thorenson. The Mini car was won by Mr E. C. Dench of Norwich.LONDON LIFEBOAT DAY 1981 Help would be welcomed from anyone willing to sell flags in Central London on Lifeboat Day, Tuesday March 24.
