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".
