The volunteer crew of Dover's RNLI lifeboat said a huge thank you to members of the Phoenix Angling Club when a cheque for £1771 was presented on-board the station's Severn Class lifeboat City Of London II on Sunday morning.
They raised the money through a number of events including an auction, a live music event and a collection outside the local branch of Morrisons. Over the years the club has now donated over ten thousand pounds to their local lifeboat and its volunteer crew.
The cheque was accepted by Dover's Second Coxswain James Clapham and members of the lifeboat crew.
Dover's Lifeboat Operations Manager, Roy Couzens said that without donations such as these from organisations and members of the local community the Royal National Lifeboat Institution would cease to exist, adding: "On behalf of the crew and the Dover branch I would like to say a huge thank you to the members of the Phoenix Angling Club for their continued support."
