Maggie and I will be up on Saturday for the weekend, but we can't be there on Friday 'cos Maggie's working.

We are both keen adherents to the Botham's cause. Unfortunately the tearooms don't open on Saturday, but we can recommend them to anyone visiting on Friday, or you can purchase their wonderful products from the 2 shops.

Looking forward to seeing you all there over the rest of the weekend.

I contacted Yorkshire Crisp Co as you suggested, their office manager Tracey Fish said she would send some nibbles for the tables and some produce for the raffle ............... yesterday when I got back on board there were two huge boxes waiting for me .... anyone fancy swimming in crisps ?
A big big thank you to the Yorkshire Crisp Co, based in Sheffield.

This was a cracking 'do' that raised over £650 for the upkeep of the Runswick Bay boat. Thanks to Raggytash and Wombat for giving us such a great excuse to congregate in Whitby to make music together. It was especially good to hear MTed playing some very classy flamenco (All you need is ten fingers. On each hand.)
Same again next year?

Just got back from Whitby.Well worth the travel. Great night was had by all. Very well attended, the place was heaving. Good venue at the Friendship club and very well organised.
Looks like it's going to be another record breaker in terms of money raised for the Runswick Bay Rescue Boat and that's great news.
Special thanks to Raggytash and Wombat for all their hard work in organising this do.
The brilliant turn out and special atmosphere shows just how popular this event has become.
I'll definately put it in my diary for next year and hope it will be held at the same venue.

Brilliant night! Thanks a lot. Excellent corned beef hash and good music. The amount raised was staggering. Any of you who missed out (for whatever reason) who wish to increase it still further can contact Raggytash who will be pleased to empty your pockets.

Remember - this is one of the boats that is NOT supported by the RNLI but is kept going because the locals recognised the need. It saved at least 4 lives last year.

What a good night the total raised over the weekend was a staggering NINE HUNDRED POUNDS !!!!!
The music and singing was brilliant, as was the whole atmosphere of the night, a great venue too
Wombat and I took the money up to the Royal Hotal in Runswick yesterday evening and passed it to Mike Sewell, the coxswain of the Rescue Boat.
A HUGE thank-you to each and every everyone of you who came and took part and parted with so much cash.

Cheers
