Head launcher? Robin Sharp, area organiser, east, presents a plaque to Nigel Smart, the headmaster of Henley County Primary School, Ipswich, who is suitably attired after his 90 pupils aged between 4'/2 and II raised £388.10 in a sponsored spelling session. A few months earlier this school heard a talk from Robin Sharp about the RNLI as part of a project about the sea and, with the help of a publicity D class lifeboat on display, Ipswich and District branch came along to sell some £117 worth of souvenirs to children, staff and parents.
