SIR,

The RNLI would like to thank all those who contributed so generously to the RNLI flag days held in Monmouth on 11th and 12th June.

The total amount collected came to £1,178.65, which was a magnificent achievement, and which will be put towards the cost of new equipment for our volunteer lifeboat crews.

Nick Rahder

(Chairman, Monmouth Branch

of the RNLI)
