Chips Ahoy at RNLI Rhyl Lifeboat Station
Rhyl RNLI Lifeboat Station held their annual Fish Supper event on the 3rd October.
Attendees were treated to meals provided by local Fish and Chip shops, Aunty Mandy's, Les & Rita's and the Town Fryer along with a soundtrack of sea shanties and a short film, highlighting the lifesaving work the volunteer lifeboat crews, water safety team and fundraisers do throughout the year.
Along with a raffle of prizes the evening raised over £1100.
Rhyl Lifeboat Coxswain Martin Jones said "We always enjoy putting on this event at the station. It was great to see the boat hall packed with just over 100 people enjoying their fish and chips kindly provided by the local chippies, who have supported this event each year we have held it. Everyone at the station would like to thank the chip shops for their help in making this event possible".
