As the co-ordinator of numerous fund raising efforts for the Runswick Bay Rescue Boat over the years, I am never less than amazed by the generosity of the folk community. This year alone the one function we hosted raised almost £1200, last year the amount raised exceeded £1000 from just two events. The Endeavour pub each year raises loads of money for the RNLI during Folk week, tight folkies, I think not.
