A 9ft model Arun lifeboat was used by the newly-formed North Southwark branch to attract people's attention during London lifeboat week in March. The model was built by branch chairman Paul Charter (above) and has a rotating beacon on its radar mast, a 15ft flag staff and the stern deck provides a souvenir sales area. The boat was a great success with the crowds and the branch raised over £2,000 during the week..
