North Sunderland lifeboat crew look on while Jane Sutherland, grand-daughter of Lady Sutherland, president of the ladies' guild, presents a salmon to Bill Steel of Tyne Tees Television who opened the annual lifeboat fete at Seahouses. The fete was a huge success with £6,291.82 being raised; that figure included a £531.36 collection by 29 young people from the village. The guild raised £10,000 altogether last year with £1,223.59 coming from the sale of souvenirs at the lifeboathouse and a stall at a vintage car rally at Bamburgh Castle. One young competitor in the Great North Run on Tyneside also presented his £268 sponsorship to the guild.
