Just been informed that all the money from last months Boat Comp has now been received and when added to what was made from the on-line auction held on the run-up to the comp, a cheque for £1,500 will be being handed over to the RNLI lads at Sunderland Station as soon as it can be arranged.

This means that, to date, NESA has raised over £6,500 on behalf of the RNLI;

£4,700 going direct to N.E. stations
£1,800 going to the RNLI national funds

There\'s also still a small amount left in the NESA fund raising account to give our next fund raising effort a kick start.
