Burry Port RNLI hosts sell out Fish Supper fundraiser
Almost 100 people attended an RNLI Fish Supper fundraising event held on Friday (7 October) in Burry Port.
The event was held at the Shoreline Holiday Park in Burry Port and saw fish and chips supplied for the hungry guests by Joseph's Chippy in Station Road.
Music on the night was provided by local group 'Bus Stop', a raffle was held, and in all around £500 was raised for the RNLI charity.
The RNLI's annual Fish Supper fundraiser sees people up and down the country to host a fish-themed dinner party with friends or family to raise vital funds for the charity which saves lives at sea.
The fundraiser honours the RNLI's lifeboat crew who miss meal times and special occasions with loved ones to go out on lifeboat shouts.
The main weekend for holding a Fish Supper is this weekend, 14–16 October, however events can be held at any time. The RNLI is asking for donations to be sent in to the charity by 26 November.
