In a little over five years George Treadway (1), landlord of the Victoria, Shrivenham, collected nearly £2,000 for Faringdon branch, largely through collecting boxes on either end of his single bar—and through his own infectious enthusiasm! When Coxswain Frank Ide (r) and Second Assistant Mechanic David Coles (c) of Poole lifeboat paid a second visit to the branch on December 17 they brought their own gift for Mr Treadway, a photograph of their 44ft Waveney lifeboat, Augustine Courtauld. photograph by courtesy of the •Wiltshire Gazette and Herald'.
