Recruitment drive Peterborough Shoreline club No 8 have asked that it be known that they are still very much alive and kicking, meeting on the third Wednesday of every month. They are appealing both to existing Shoreline members within their area to join the club and also to others to become members of Shoreline so that they, too, can join the club.

Details from: Tom Field, honorary secretary, Merienda, Greenhill, Elton, Peterborough. Telephone: Elton 313.

Quid pro quo After a long drive to Oman, lorry driver Richard Snow agreed that if he kept his promise to quit smoking by the time they next met, his colleague, Mike Beardwood, would join Shoreline. The promise held and Mike is now a £200 life governor.

Voyage into the past Peter Buttigieg, a 68-year-old adventurer and Shoreline member has recently completed, with his crew, Micah Barrett, a 1,000 mile cruise across the North Sea and back to revisit Deventer Bridge in Holland, off which he jumped to escape his German captors in 1940.

The voyage aboard the six metre cutter Melita, which was full of its own adventures, had the added effect of bringing in £1,500 in sponsorship which will go towards Lowestoft's appeal for a new 47ft Tyne class lifeboat.

Sticking at it Mrs Nora Neill is appealing to fellow Shoreline members to remember her when they come across old Green Shield stamps or indeed get given new ones with their purchases as the scheme is starting up again. So far she has turned lifeboat supporters' unwanted stamps into cash worth £8,800 for the RNLI and she is very anxious to make it to £10,000. So send your unwanted savings stamps, old or new, Green Shield or other varieties to her at 95 Fitzroy Avenue, Harborne, Birmingham B17 8RG.Insignia available (to Shoreline members only) Description Price 5" Dinghy Burgee £4.00 Sterling Silver Marcasite Brooch in gift box £18.40 Silkscreened Gilt Cuff Links in gift box £5.60 All Metal Car Badge £4.80 12" Hoist Flag £3.80 8" Hoist Flag £2.80 Gilt and Enamel Stick Pin £1.00 Gilt and Enamel Gents Lapel Badge £1.15 Gilt and Enamel Ladies Brooch £1.00 Gilt and Enamel Tie Tack £1.30 3" Diameter Anorak Badge £0.65 Terylene Tie—blue, green, brown, maroon* £3.95 Navy Blue Sweat Shirt (XL, L, M, S*) £9.95 Navy Blue Acrylic V-Neck Sweater (32,34,36,38,40,42,44*) £10.00 Cream or Maroon Pure Wool Sleeveless Sweater (XL, L,M,S*) £14.25 Shoreline Member's Replacement Windscreen Sticker £0.20 "Delete as necessary I enclose chequc/P.O.* (Made payable to RNLI) To: The Director, RNLI, West Quay Road, Poole, Dorset BH15 1HZ.
