Thanks to all those who turned out at the Zetland tonight.
It was nice to meet some of the old, familiar faces and great to meet a couple of the newer lads – Pat Pending and Leeruss – glad you could come along
To say that Michael Charlton of the RNLI, was “geet chuffed†with our fund raising efforts would be a bit of an understatement. He was amazed that we’d raised so much (almost £3,000) in the short period of 1 year and was delighted to accept our latest cheque for £700.
Just to put the £3,000 into perspective, he gave us a couple of examples of what could be done with that amount of money;
1. Fully kit out an entire offshore lifeboat crew (crew of 6) OR
2. Pay for ALL the fuel used by an offshore lifeboat for a year (and still have £500 left over).
Not bad going for a group of part time anglers, eh ??
As always, I was well proud of NESA and all those who have helped in achieving what we have, so far.
Michael will be sending me a “certificate†on behalf of the RNLI, recognising our achievements and I’m gonna see if it can somehow be incorporated into the NESA banner at the top of the pages on the site (or at least have it displayed in some prominent place on the site).
The only down side to the night was that I had the car and couldn’t have a few pints
I would’ve loved to have stayed longer, but there’s only so much “soft drink†you can take
…..lol
Thanks for taking and sending the photo, Jim (willywetegg)
