A BUDE author is hoping that his latest book will make a splash in the sea pool fundraising campaign.

When Trevor Lashbrook decided to write a book about his, sometimes, "hilarious" experiences as a London Headmaster, some of his ex-pupils, who still contact him on Facebook, wanted him to include their memories.

Many requested copies of his latest release 'A Poisoned Chalice', but instead of charging for copies of the book, he requested that they donate towards the Bude Sea Pool campaign.

Taking over the Headship of a run-down primary school in a tough area of North London, Trevor transformed it into one of the most sucessful schools in the capital.
