Buried Treasure!

Buried Treasure! Ron Warner, treasurer of Sennen Cove guild, is always looking for ways to raise RNLI funds - his latest venture, a treasure hunt, raised over £650. Using a large map of Derbyshire, Ron sectioned it off into cross referenced squares and 'buried' the treaure in a secret location.

David Jones, area organiser for the South West, kept the secret combination in double sealed and signed envelopes.

The treasure hunt, which attracted entries from all round the country and abroad, came to a close on 12 October when Terry George, Coxswain of Sennen Cove lifeboat, revealed the secret combination. The winner, Mr S L Knowles of Birmingham, received his prize of some £220, along with a spade to dig up the treasure buried at 'orange F 20'!.
