Good Evening everyone.

We could not have asked for nicer weather today for Lifeboat Day. The sun was shining all day with not a cloud in the sky.

The RNLI put on a great day and was rewarded with a great turnout by the community. From early doors till the stalls was put away the promenade was busy with people having a great day.

As you know we setup a stall for people to come and see us and i have to say it was a delight. We had a great response from everyone who spoke to us. Many memories was shared about the industry from wifes talking about husbands, children talking about fathers and even ex trawlermen talking about there times at sea.

I would like to thank everyone who donated to the RNLI collection box on the stall it was greatly recieved on behalf of the Lifeboat. Also for anyone who purchased a photograph or book, aswell as everyone who stopped by the stall and just looked around. We hope you found the stall interesting.

Last but not least, thanks to Jim, Peter and my father for there help today.
