There is nothing you might not be called upon to do as honorary secretary of an RNL1 fund-raising branch. Bob Proudlock, honorary secretary of Wolverhampton branch, proved this point when West Midlands Police Sub-Aqua Club, having swum five underwater miles along the River Severn and having raised £200 in the process, insisted the cheque be handed over in an environment natural to them: several feet below the surface of Stirchley swimming baths. The picture shows the game Bob Proudlock (I) with Police Constable Ian Suthers.
