Boats, bangles and bands: the occasion was the annual bazaar of the Hakin Point branch

Boats, bangles and bands: The occasion was the annual bazaar of the Hakin Point branch and once again crowds attended for boat trips, bargains and other attractions, one of which was the fishing boat race organised by the South West Wales Shell Fishermen's Association. All the fishing boats took part in the parade for the best dressed boat with the Cory Ship Towage tugs staging a fire fighting display. On land the bazaar was opened by the harbourmaster. Captain John Frost and he was welcomed by the branch chairman, Tom Sinclair. The town band attended and a good day was had by all with almost £2,500 being raised towards the Angle lifeboat crew's 'bleeper' fund.
