Rhyl RNLI volunteers thrilled by bake-off proceeds
Coxswain Martin Jones received a phone call from Joy Williams of the Lyons Robin Hood holiday camp, on May 18 2016, to pick up a cheque for money raised as part of a "Great Lyons bake-off" held there recently.
The crew were met at the camp by mascots Milo Monkey; Hetty Hippo; and Leo Lion, together with the Lyons star rangers entertainment team members. Martin accepted the cheque for over £200.00 which will go towards the upkeep of Rhyl RNLI lifeboat station.
Martin Says " The volunteers at Rhyl RNLI are extremely grateful to Lyons Robin Hood camp for their generous support". He added " We hope this will be the start of a long relationship between the camp and our charity. We hope to visit the camp in the summer with the inshore lifeboat to support them in their community days there".
