Supper served with a smile

Paul Freathy, chair of Hastings Lifeboat Management Group, explained : 'Our annual fish supper has become a really popular event, with tickets always selling out fast.

'Guests enjoy a great meal served by our very own crew from across the lifeboat station. And there was plenty of other entertainment too, including a raffle, with lots of great prizes, many donated by local businesses, for which we are also very grateful, and a quiz. And we had some fantastic entertainment from the Hastings Old Town Ukulele Group.

'With plenty of laughs and good company, it was a brilliant evening, enjoyed by all. And we raised £920 to help us save lives at sea.

'We really appreciate the fantastic support of our hosts for the night, the Old Town Fryer. I’d also like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped organise, support and attend the event. It means so much to us and helps make a real difference.

'We’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year!'
