Special Delivery for Rhyl lifeboat volunteers

Rhyl RNLI volunteers are set to stage the 2nd raft race to be held in Rhyl Harbour on Sunday 24 July. The day will host a range of attractions from Rhyl’s lifeboats open to the public (service permitting), jet ski tricks and stunts, displays on the harbour wall and the raft race starting at 1.30pm.

Romec who provide a complete range of facilities management services to Royal Mail and are wholly owned by the Royal Mail Group, kindly donated the oars for this year's raft race, which are worth £311.

Rhyl Lifeboat Coxswain, Martin Jones said: ‘Last year the raft race was a fantastic event and we are looking to make this year even better. The event helps us to connect to key community partners and we would like to thank Romec for their kind donation of the oars which will be utilised by the teams on the day.’
