Thank-you very much.
Wow what a turnout, you could hardly move in the streets. I told you we had ordered good weather, and we got it too, good job it wasn't held the following day !!!!. Thank-you all for coming and helping us make this a great fundraising day. Our initial accounting shows a total of £7,000 raised but this will change in the following days so watch this space. Here are a few photographs from the day.
Mark and Simon start the day early, ready for off at 8am from the boathouse. They were at Beaumaris Lifeboat Station within 3/4 of an hour and then headed up the enormous hill towards Holyhead, then Trearddur. Things didn't quite go to plan, 3 punctures on the way but they still arrived back in Moelfre by 1.15p.m. Our thanks go to both of them and their back up crew (and also families of course). They raised a superb total of £756 by their own sponsorship and we collected a further £25.00 on the day. What an effort.
Fantastic - boy did they get our feet tapping !!!
We are always on the lookout for new ideas for stalls and if you think you may have something we would like you to display or sell on our day please get in touch with us.
If you wish to purchase goods from the R.N.L.I., remember we have a small shop in the Sea Watch Centre which is open from Easter until September. (Please note, not open on Mondays)
