Abersoch RNLI receives kind donation from Parwich Oddfellows, Derbyshire
Sue McCann, volunteer Fundraising Chair, received the donation from Parwich Oddfellows who raised £570.00 at a recent race night for Abersoch RNLI.
Oddfellows member, Richie Maddocks and his son Dougie, who is a junior member, met with Sue at the lifeboat station where they were presented with a Certificate of Thanks on behalf of the RNLI. The Parwich branch have been keen supporters of Abersoch RNLI for many years now as many members have long-standing ties with the area.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions the lifeboat station is not yet open for visitors, however ‘tractor mad’ Douglas was promised a guided tour of the lifeboat station as soon as restrictions allowed.
