Someone posted a list of Trustees of the Merchant Navy War Memorial Fund , last year . I cannot remember but think that only two on te committee were ex seafarers , If so how and when do these guys get elected , Is it an election done because no-one is interested , If so when it disappears we will only have ourselves to blame . So who i eligible to vote these guys in and who is eligible to stand

Any intentions would be to see fair play for the springboksailors home but how to go about this i know not iwould not like to see preditors hovering as has been a possbilty suggested but as to the means of protecting this i would not know were to start perhaps you could suggest or mr prescot could be harnessed into the scene but alas i think i would find it impossible to work with his lordship regards jim cappy
