Once again it's time to tell all you good people about the annual fund raiser for the Runswick Bay Rescue Boat.
This year it will be held on Friday 28th March at the Friendship Rowing Club in Whitby, same format as always if it ain't broke don't fix it.
If anyone would like to donate a raffle prize it would be much appreciated and as always Christine and I will provide a supper for which we will extract as much money as we can from you, normal methods will apply, namely gripping reluctants by the ankles and shaking them till their pockets are empty!

See you there

Cheers

Nick & Christine

Hi Nick; looks like there will be a party (in so many senses of the word)coming from the Wilkes Head in Leek; wouldn't miss it for anything!

Hi Raggy,

What is the "same format as always"?.....

Thanks

Basically we go round the room in turn, each person either singing or leading a tune. We do however frown a little on 17 verse dirges and try to keep to the night as up-tempo as possible. We hold a raffle and I make some sort of supper for which we ask donations. All revenue generated is donated to the Runswick Bay Rescue Boat which is not sponsored by the RNLI and has to raise all its own funds. We have been hosting fund raisers for over ten yeras now and last year with the help of all the wonderful people who attend raised £900, a phenomenal amount. Have a look at www.runswickrescue.org.uk

Cheers

Nick

Thanks Nick,

We'll try and make it in that case, if you pm me an address we'll definitely donate a copy of Wendy's CD (includes "The Visitor", I know this was the Whitby lifeboat but still seems appropriate!) as a raffle prize.....that'll have em queuing for tickets then (ahem)......

Cheers

Hi Paul
I'm the guy that Wendy met in the Endeavour last year and pestered her for the words. She very kindly sent them to me for which I am very grateful it is a brilliant song, however I was very remiss and did not contact her to say thank-you. Would you be kind enough to pass on my thanks to her

Cheers

Nick

Nick,

Yes I thought you were! I will pass on your thanks but if we make it on the 28th March (baby sitter dependent!) you can thank her in person!

She'll be thrilled with your kind words.

Cheers

Paul

Gnomad, thanks for the thought but we never set targets for fund raising, if we get £50 it's £50 more than the Rescue Boat would have had. Admittedly last years £900 was amazing but I wouldn't dare hope to repeat that never mind better it.

I love seeing this thread every year. The work is dangerous at times and no call out is ever routine. Takes good hearts and lots of training--even for situation that may never happen. I have a mild fear of water, so anyone who would willingly get in a boat makes me gape. To get in a boat and face 10' breakers just to get off shore makes me scratch my head in amazement. They are very brave souls, although I know they'd never think of themselves in that manner. Gotta love guys and gals who put it on the line for others. It's the ultimate in courage, imo. Please pass on my thanks to them all.

Hope to get there Raggytash with a small contingent from Huddersfield. Are you still interested in some free greetings cards I can donate towards raising funds for the lifeboat?

Hi Chris ..........small contingent from Huddersfield ..........yes Dozy Rosy has lost loads of weight recently ......... too much I think !!!

Sorry !!!............ that's me for a battering !!!

Anything that helps raise funds would be much appreciated, with Sue from the Black Horse I'm going to resurrect an old tradition in Whitby by putting Carlin's on the bar on Carlin Sunday with donations going to the Rescue Boat

Oh man! you are going to be in so much trouble from Dozy Rosy. I doubt that you will survive the RBRB night!!
In defence of Dozy Rozy,I'm sorry,but you should be chastised.
It is probably acceptable to make such personal comments about someone in private but not in a public forum like this.
You have over stepped the mark and you most likely deserve to be battered.
I can't speak for the rest of the Huddersfield contingent but on second thoughts I think I might just decide to steer clear of this event and also withdraw my offer of free greeting cards (worth well over £100) because of your insensitive comment on this thread.
Sometimes it is worth engaging brain before spouting off at the mouth.
Shame on you Nick!

OK Nick. On a more light hearted tone Hiya but what do yo mean by that? Like I said it is probably acceptable to make such personal comments about someone in private but not in a public forum like this. I thought you might have the balls to apologise to Dozy Rosy but no, you couldn't find it in you,could you?

OOOOOOOOOOOoops!!Wrong year!! Easter is very early this year; Carlin Sunday is the Sunday before Palm Sunday so my estimation is that Carlin Sunday falls on 9th March?

I soak them, then boil a pestle, use the fluid off that to cook the peas in, add the meat off the pestle and make them into a kind of soup.

From: ossonflags
Date: 28 Jan 08 - 02:25 AM

Thanks Les you can also get them at that little shop down South Street in 'ull .

I have always had/done them more of a dry way; soaked and boiled longer than mushy peas, when soft fry them in butter or dripping and just before serving shove a large glug of vinegar amd bit of salt in the pan, you will find this will evaporate very quickly.

What is a pestle?

Subject: RE: Runswick Bay Rescue Boat - 28 March, Whitby
From: Raggytash
Date: 28 Jan 08 - 03:25 AM

Pestle ............... Ham Shank, yours is the traditional Yorkshire way to do them, mine is my own take on it but very nice all the same!

Might do some for the Rescue Boat night which as we all know is Friday 28 March 2008 at the Friendship Rowing Club, Church Street Whitby

Well, I go away for a short while and come back to find theres a bun fight about my weight.Thanks for your concern, everyone.For the record...I am not in the slightest bit interested in the various negative comments that are bandied about.Untill I began wasting my time drinking copious amounts or beer in the company of fools and idiots, I was always very slim indeed.And I have resumed my taining in karate and kick boxing, so keep your opinions to yourself.P.S. It will be nice to see everyone at the lifeboat do.Soldier boy, you are my sunshine.

Well Peace that may be true in your part of Canada, but when I was there a few years ago - Ontario - when the locals said "let us have a drink it meant just that;ie.ONE bottle of beer.But eat.................that was a differant story.

Don't know this for sure but I think cherubs can actually do without boats, something tells me they can transport themselves in an aerial manner whereby they do not touch land or sea at all, could be wrong though. That little one I've got is still perched on the lightshade above the bed and won't come down, the other one is still in dock healing a broken wing

I,m glad all my friends are taking the care of their cherubs seriously.I shall be arriving unexpectedly to do spot checks in the near future.And if any of them have spots, I will want to know why.Of course, they wont have any spots as big as the life threatening monstrosity i have on my face at the moment.
