The Basingstoke branch of the British Sub-Aqua Club held a sponsored swim in aid of the lifeboats and raised £1,169 - the largest single donation received by the RNLI Basingstoke branch.

Trophies were presented to the under 18s who took part and a shield was presented to Paul Stewart, the club's training officer, for raising the most money - over £200.
