Llandudno RNLI volunteer Ralph Hughes completes initial lifeboat crew training
Last Sunday (13 October), Llandudno RNLI crew member Ralph Hughes successfully completed his Tier 1 passout on the inshore lifeboat (ILB), marking a significant milestone in his journey as a seagoing crew member.
'Ralph has shown tremendous commitment and determination throughout his training, and his Tier 1 passout is a reflection of all the hard work he’s put in. He’s proven himself as a valuable member of the team, and I have no doubt he’ll continue to excel as he moves on to the next stage.’
