Hush money: during one Monday in July Lang/on County Primary School, Ma/ton, North Yorkshire, must have been the quietest school in the country. A sponsored silence was held, with junior pupils being quiet for an hour while the infants kept to a realistic 30 minutes. The silence raised £325 which (I to r) Cathy Hood, Susie We/ford. Tessa Dunning and Elaine Seager presented to Peter Lacey, RNLI area organiser (North East). The lifeboat picture was painted bv Tessa Dunning. photograph by courtesy of Yorkshire Evening Press.
