It's that time of year again to announce our annual fund raiser for the Runswick Bay Rescue Boat.

This year it will take place in Whitby on FRIDAY the 9th of March 2007 at the Friendship Rowing Club which is situated on Church Street in the heart of the old town (East side). More details will follow, but if you fancy coming please let us know so we can organise catering, staff, beer etc etc. We may also be able to help out if you need accommodation, not us ourselves, but we can pass on details of boarding houses etc

Cheers

Raggytash and Wombat

Last year was a great year for our fundraising efforts. At the main do we raised £510, this was followed by a gifts of £210 and then our Glaisdale do raised a further £150. Just before Christmas I received a cheque to forward on to the value of £80. A mammoth total of £950 for the year.
A couple of weeks ago we visited Runswick and heard to a new scheme to riase funds by which people can become Friends of Runswick Bay Rescue Boat for an annual fee of £15 which through the Gift Aid scheme means they can actually collect over £19. To my great surprise and delight the Committee have made me their first Friend and given me Life membership for the fund raising efforts Wombat and I have co-ordinated over the years. This is all down to you good people who have donated so much over the years. My thanks must go to each and everyone of you who have given so generously over the years.

So on to this year do, we will maintain the format that has done so well in the past, only this year the venue has changed due to Wombat and I relocating to Whitby in the New Year.

The Friendship Rowing Club is situated On Church Street in the centre of the Old Town on the East side of the River. A good size room with a bar and cheap beer (hooray). We will kick off as normal about 8pm and sing until we are thrown out sometime after midnight. As usual we will hold a raffle (any donations of prises would be much appreciated) a collection and I will make my usual supper for which donations of £1.50 will be requested, although you can give more if you wish. Hopefully the same crowd of you will attend and hopefully make a weekend of it, so impromptu sessions will continue on the Saturday and Sunday.

If anyone requires accommodation we can pass on contact numbers and we may have moved into our new house by then and may have a limited amount of space, but it's only about half the size of our existing house!

Please let us know if your coming over so we can let the club have an idea of numbers and so I will know how many to cater for. Hears looking forward to another great night.

Cheers everyone

Raggytash (Nick)

I love seeing this thread each year. It's dangerous work and it takes lots of traing and skill to perform the rescues. Long periods of boredom punctuated by short periods of stark terror. Good on the guys and gals who brave the seas.

Looking forward to this. I work in Sheffield, and I'll be setting off around 4.30 pm from there on Friday, driving straight back after the frolics end (sober, sadly!)as I have to attend a family 'do' on Saturday lunchtime. Anyone need/want a lift? I'll have three seats available. PM me if so.

I tried to buy some Corned Beef but the local supplier said that he could not supply catering sized tins in time for the do, so a trip to Scarborough was on the cards. However I went to Elizabeth Bothams, the bakers and asked if they could sell me a couple of catering sized tins. Joe Bothams said he would let me have them at cost which I thought was very kind of him. Today when I collected them he said "consider that our contribution to the Rescue Boat" which is brilliant.

So when you're in Whitby please remember that Botham's is the bakers to go to!!
