BALLYHOLME YACHT CLUB DONATES TO BANGOR RNLI
Bangor RNLI was delighted to receive a cheque for £1,440 from Ballyholme Yacht Club, the proceeds from their Boxing Day swim and events held over Christmas.
Seen here is Club Commodore Rob Milligan, presenting the cheque to Bangor RNLI Lifeboat Operations Manager Bryan Lawther, accompanied by volunteer crew members Jack Irwin, John Bell and Joanne Heasley, and former Lifeboat Operations Manager, Kevin Byers.
Rob said “Ballyholme Yacht Club is going from strength to strength, with open water swimming, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and wind surfing added to the water sports we offer. At all times our members remember how lucky we are to have a local lifeboat station to call on should anything go wrong, and this donation is just our way of thanking them.”
Our thanks to all who contributed to this fantastic donation.
