Round Britain Windsurf Tim Batstone is planning to windsurf round the entire 2,000 mile coastline of Britain in 1984, sailing in a clockwise direction starting and finishing at Tower Bridge. His aims include being the first person to achieve this feat, raising money through sponsorship for the RNLI and promoting windsurfing safety at sea. Departure will be early May, sailing by day and spending the nights on land. Tim will be accompanied throughout by a support boat for safety, food and navigation. Depending on the weather an average daily distance of 40 miles in anticipated.

Great support is promised by commercial firms and expected from the windsurfing community (up to 60,000 strong at the last count!) but Tim Batstone would be delighted to hear from anyone who would like to offer practical help or local advice; his address is 44 Cathcart Road, London SW10 9JQ (tel: 01-352 8606).

Safeway Safeway has chosen the RNLI to benefit from its charity month in April 1984.

Lifeboat Tea Nearly £4,500 was received by the RNLI in 1983 as a result of the sale of Lifeboat Tea..
