The countdown is on for one of west Dorset’s most eagerly awaited events.
Lyme Regis Lifeboat Week will begin on Saturday, July 27 and organisers are looking to recruit volunteers to help out.
Anyone interested in giving even an hour or two to help with some of the many planned events is invited to attend a coffee morning at the lifeboat station on the Cobb at 11.30am on Tuesday, July 2.
Organiser Krys Lavery, Volunteer Manager of the lifeboat shop, said: “We are always on the lookout for extra helpers and this year is no exception. We need people to help with our donation buckets, assist with events such as the book stall, the fun run, pavement art, the swim challenge and many other attractions.
“We would be delighted to welcome extra helpers to our coffee morning. We are a very friendly bunch of lifeboat supporters and it’s all great fun for such a good cause.”
Lyme Regis Lifeboat Week regularly raises around £35,000 for the RNLI.
The souvenir lifeboat week programme, celebrating the RNLI’s 200th anniversary, is also currently available from the lifeboat shop and other outlets around the town.
