A Six-year-old Storm Force member Stuart Tarvit, of St Monans, Fife, must be one of the voungest readers of THE LIFEBOAT. A very keen supporter of the RNLI (lifeboat posters adorn his bedroom walls), for his sixth birthday, instead of presents from his pals, Stuart asked them to contribute to the fund for Anstruther's next lifeboat and raised £100.

His reward was a trip aboard the station's Oakley class lifeboat The Doctors. Stuart won two first prizes and a second at various functions during the summer . . . dressed as a lifeboatman! He is pictured outside Anstruther lifeboat station, with his copv of THE LIFEBOAT.
