In the latest Lifeboat magazine the Margate lifeboat was launched 18 times between July 12 and September 19, twice on the same day and on another day 3 times. Readers may also be interested and surprised to know that the RNLI are uniquely placed to help life saving in Bangladesh where 40 children about 4 years old lose their lives every day. I will explain in more detail in future magazines.
Thank you to those who said they enjoyed the first piece about the RNLI
During these strange pandemic times when we cannot meet as usual and have to find other than usual ways to support charities we are regularly reminded the charities are still here ,active and needing our help The RNLI is shown to very positive effect on regular TV programmes reminding us of the wonderful work they do . We see the crews of brave, professional volunteers going out to sea in all sorts of weather conditions to save a wide array of people. They could be nun or people we know.
If anyone wishes to contribute to a lifeboat donation please if possible let Sylvia Puttock or John Sinclair have it as soon as you can.
