Nottingham City Police Lifesaving Team of 1966,proud winners of the Silver Truncheon. The silver truncheon was a coup for Notts as it was regularly won by the Met who had a bigger pool of swimmers to pick from. Apparently the 'northern elimination' event was usually won by The West Riding of Yorkshire team, so it was a double celebration for winning through against all the odds.
