and you don't question the heading 'operations', 'support' or 'fundraising'?

Under what heading would the petrol and car running expenses for 3 or 4
suited gentlemen to travel from Poole to Southampton. Over on the Red Funnel
Car Ferry to East Cowes to the Inflatable Depot. Jump into the Yard Launch
with further members of the depot at about noon, cruise up river to the
Folly Inn and have lunch, then cruise back at about 3 00 pm and then depart
back to Poole via the Car Ferry..

How many little school girls have held front garden sales and raised their
few 'very important pounds to them', only to have it spent on some 'jolly'
for those in Head Office.

RNLI STINKS at Head Office level and people like Hubbard are sucked in by
the paperwork and advertising :-(((

Give the money to where it works. Buy equipment for the Stations.
