To commemorate the Jubilee Year of Townswomen's Guilds, the Central Yorkshire Federation of Townswomen's Guilds held a 'Sixty Glorious Years' event at the Royal Baths Assembly Rooms in Harrogate.

The York East TWGs were asked to put on a display featuring historic moments from the years 1973 to 1988, and as part of this venture they chose the RNLI's 150th anniversary in 1974. The chairman of Heworth Ladies' Guild (and active TWO member) Mrs Jean Rose, arranged a mock naming ceremony for the display, with a cut-out lifeboat named Jean Rose!.
