After the children of Bishop Goodwin Junior School, Carlisle, had worked for two weeks to raise a princely £372.03, it was only natural that Grace Dent, a distant relation of Grace Darling, should hand over the cheque. Receiving the cheque is Wilson Matear, a crew member of Workington lifeboat: with them are (I to r) the Reverend John Bell, Mr D. J.

Thomas, headmaster, Dr John Southern, honorary secretary of Carlisle and District branch, and Jim Stables, chairman.
