Holmes Chapel and District branch organised a three-day Storm Force promotion last autumn, when branch chairman Mr Charles Godwin and branch public relations officer Mr R G Brown visited local schools with a 16ft D class inflatable lifeboat and a video film presentation. More than 2000 schoolchildren took part in the promotion and it is anticipated thai several schools will take out group membership as a result. The picture shows Mr Brown with children from Hermitage Junior School, Holmes Chapel in the lifeboat.
