Lifeboat FUN DAY - Stevenage This Sunday 29th July

Bill D203 · « **Reply #41 on:** July 29, 2012, 03:46:03 pm »

I would like to say what a good day we had today. A Big Thank you to all who traveled to make our 1st Lifeboat Fun day event a great day. Stevenage MBC members for all there help during the day. THANKS

Andy has got lots of Photos which I hope he will post up here some of the best pics.
OK so what did we do ??? Two fair maidens was rescued from the water , To tins of Fosters where sent out and one was fully recovered so Jim could have his lunch time pint. A little rubber boat was pushed around and lost a few time up the Bank side. I ran my Honda Arun boat and we had a demo from our fast electric member. There was a very good selection of Lifeboats both on show and on the water. We had two steam boats on the water as well . So much time goes into making these boats and it is so good to see them on the water, Fantastic

Would we do it again next year?? YES give me a week or two and we Will short out a date around the same time next year.

One other thing We made just over £120 which will be on it's way to the RNIL this week.

A lass called Charlotte picked out the raffle tickets for us. MR Dave Shaw won the wine gums and them handed them over to Charlotte for drawing the tickets. Thanks Dave. your a star
