Llandudno RNLI Visitor Centre launch second season with fundraising friends
Llandudno Lifeboat Visitor Centre volunteers prepare for their second season by welcoming members and friends of the Liverpool Fundraising Group.
In 2018, its inaugural year, Llandudno’s new Lifeboat Station was visited by 7,931 people, who comprised visitors to the town as well as local residents.
Myfanwy Jones, Lifeboat Visits Officer said, ‘We always hoped that our Visitor Centre would prove to be a valuable visitor attraction, especially as we wanted to give something back to the town that has always taken the Lifeboat Station and crew to its heart’.
The Lifeboat Visits Team didn’t know what to expect in their first year, but nearly eight thousand people is a great start and we hope to go from strength to strength. The Visits Team volunteers are now preparing themselves for the 2019 Spring/Summer Season starting Sunday, 14 April. They have repeatedly been complimented on their knowledge and hospitality and have consistently received ‘Excellent’ feedback on a popular internet review site.
For those who wish to visit the lifeboat station over the school Easter holidays the Visitor Centre will be open between 1pm to 4pm everyday between Tuesday 16 April - Thursday 25 April.
Additionally, the RNLI Shop in the town centre is also looking forward to another busy season with opening times Monday to Saturday 10am to 5pm.
