A Bag of Money Containing £1250 Was Handed to Coxswain Michael Scales of St.Peter Port After the Younger Members of Guernsey Yacht

A bag of money containing £1,250 was handed to Coxswain Michael Scales of St Peter Port after the younger members of Guernsey Yacht Club had competed in a bath tub race. Designs for racing bath tubs become more sophisticated every year but the acknowledged expert in the sport, Simon Lovell, did not disappoint his supporters when he won the race. A £15 donation and further contributions from the club's five-a-side football team bumped the total donation up to £1,600.
