Help the lifeboats
3:38pm Wednesday 16th January 2002
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution saves lives at sea and needs your unwanted jewellery and similar items to support this vital task.
Since 1986, our Jewellery Appeal has raised over £427,000, a sum which would buy five high-speed Atlantic 75 rigid inflatable lifeboats.
I would be delighted to receive any good quality items of jewellery that are no longer required. Gold and silver articles and small objets d'art would be very much appreciated, as would war medals and memorabilia.
The RNLI is funded entirely by voluntary contributions.
Our lifeboatmen and women are volunteers too and they are always ready to exchange the warmth and comforts of home for cold, wet and danger to help those in distress at sea.

This week's walk: Horsted Keynes and Furner's Green
From the village of Horsted Keynes, this walk heads eastwards to encircle the nearby settlement of Danehill, crossing and recrossing two well-wooded valleys before returning along part of the Sussex Border Path, a longdistance walking route which sticks fairly closely to the boundary between East and West Sussex.
