‘Seafood extravaganza’ raises funds for Tobermory RNLI

The annual ‘seafood extravaganza’ is now in its 18^th year and with tickets selling out in minutes, is a popular local event. Seventy people enjoyed a feast of six courses of locally caught seafood prepared in the hall by an army of volunteers. The main event is the famous ‘Dervaig seafood plank’ featuring a mountain of prawns, crab claws and lobster.

Once again, the proceeds from the after-dinner auction were donated to the RNLI. The lots were donated from the local community and businesses and included artwork, whisky, whole salmon and cut logs. An amazing £1845 was raised and the generosity of the both the organisers and those who bid for items is greatly appreciated by all at Tobermory RNLI.
