To mark Milford Haven's bi-centenary year the 1990 annual lifeboat bazaar organised by Hakin Point branch took on a distinctive 'Nelsonian' touch in honour of the naval hero's link with the port.

It was also the last public lifeboat event for Margaret Noden, joint honorary secretary of the branch who, with committee member husband George, is moving to Somerset.

After the official opening by Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton (alias Rob and Janette Mathias) on the right of the picture, Margaret (in dark glasses) was presented with an oil painting of a local maritime scene from her fellow members. With her (left to right) are branch chairman Tom Sinclair and honorary secretary Ethel Clark.

The afternoon netted £2,800 for lifeboat funds. (photo by Martin Cavaney).
