RNLI SOS Weekend

Last weekend saw volunteers at Hastings lifeboat take part in the annual RNLI fundraising event - an SOS day designed to keep Britain's lifeboat fleet afloat.

Supporters took part in a number of events including a wine and cheese evening at Porters wine bar in the Old Town and a sponsored car wash at the lifeboat station. Everyone was pleased at the huge level of support given to the weekend's events; the car wash was particularly popular with a non-stop line of over sixty vehicles being soaped and polished by members of the lifeboat crew.

 

 

Hastings lifeboat coxswain, Steve Warne said. "We are really grateful to all those who have supported us this weekend, either through donating their time or by putting their hands in their pockets to support us. I'd especially like to thank Porter's wine bar and Penbuckle cheeses in the Old Town, and also Cat Components and Car Crazy for their support. All in all it was a fantastic weekend; a lot of fun that also raised over £1,000 to keep us saving lives at sea."
