Troon RNLI Children’s Christmas Party
On Sunday 15 December, a Christmas party, with a very special invited guest, was held at the lifeboat station for the children of the stations crew members.
At Troon all the crew are grateful for the support of their families throughout the year so as a thank you to the children for being good while their parents spent time on call for the stations lifeboats, the first Christmas party, complete with party games, took place at the boathouse.
All the children got a special RNLI themed present from Santa and even had the chance to make crew member snowmen with a little help from some willing volunteers.
Speaking at the party, Mr Claus said: ‘It was lovely to meet the boys and girls at Troon lifeboat station who I have been told have been very good this year. A big thank you to my very special helpers from the station for organising the party and inviting me along.’
