RNLI Mayday ‘Butty Morning’ success
Flint RNLI Mayday programme got off to a tasty start last Saturday when over £200 was raised at a Bacon Butty morning.
RNLI fundraising volunteers at Flint were kept busy last Saturday when Kath and Gareth Williams hosted the first in a series of Mayday events, over 60 people attended the mouth watering event, and kept the ‘galley slaves’ particularly busy.
Kath said:
'We were really pleased with the response, and would like to thank everybody for supporting the event, whether attending on the day, or making donations of food, raffle prizes, or money, which all helped make the event a success’
The next Mayday event is RNLI Rock on Saturday 18th May at the lifeboat station starting at 1pm featuring live bands until 9pm, admission is by donation.
Money raised from Mayday events will be used to fund new crew kit.
