Dance Group help raise funds for Rhyl RNLI volunteer crew
The Kingshall dancing group from Prestatyn called at the lifeboat station to present a cheque for £500.00, which was the result of their fundraising over the last year.
The cheque was accepted by Duty Coxswain Paul Archer-Jones, and the money will go towards the station's fundraising for a new Shannon-Class lifeboat, to arrive on station in 2019.
Paul says ' The station is very grateful to the dancing group for their kind donation. As a charity, we rely on voluntary contributions from the public, and we are very happy that the group have chosen to support the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, and Rhyl station in particular '
The attached photo shows the group's representatives on the station's present All-weather lifeboat Lil Cunningham at Rhyl lifeboat station.
