Roll out the barrel! Pub teams rolled a barrel filled with 22 gallons of water along three miles of road. The barrel-push, by six teams of six runners, was to raise money for the new Loweslofl lifeboat appeal and the Licensed Victuallers' National Homes. They set off from Carl's pub in London Road South, Lowestoft and took in another four pubs before finishing up at the Olde Frank, Gresham Road. The event was organised by Keith Barnard, landlord of the Fighting Cocks, and raised £500 from sponsorship and collections in pubs along the wu , the money to be shared bv the two charities.
