WELLWISHERS have presented money to Weymouth lifeboats. The donations included £200 raised at the Weymouth Bowls Tournament and £1,500 from the Weavers Arms in Hinckley, Leicestershire.
In the picture above, from left to right, are Allan Birch from Weymouth Lifeboat, Angie Bertram, Dave Wise, John Crabb, all of Weymouth Bowls tournament, and lifeboat crew member Nigel Carr receiving the cheque.
In the second picture coxswain Andy Sargent and second mechanic Kevin Goddard receive the cheque from Kevin Bridgewater, of the Weavers Arms, Hinckley Leicestershire. The money was raised through events in the Weavers Arms.
Lifeboat spokesman Allan Birch said: "Unfortunately the money was stolen during a robbery on New Years Day, so Mr Bridgewater has kindly made the money up from his own pocket, for which we are very grateful."
