Barmouth RNLI hold Easter tombola event
On a very cold and wet Easter Monday, Stormy Stan did his best to draw in the crowds to the Lifeboat Station on a windy promenade for Barmouth RNLI’s Easter tombola.
The all-weather lifeboat, the Moira Barrie, was on display on the beach and stalls were set up in the shelter of the boathouse. There were many excellent prizes to be won on the tombola stall and a delicious assortment of home-made cakes on sale. The Community Safety Officer’s stall’s offered advice on how to stay safe at sea with the RNLI’s Respect the Water Campaign. The raffle for the Giant Easter Egg was won by Sharon Cooney.
Thanks to the dedication of fundraisers and crew, and to the generosity of the public, £480.39 was raised on the day. Barmouth RNLI would like to thank all those who braved the weather for their continued support for this worthy cause.
