A fundraising event in aid of RNLI has been organised on the Swilly this coming Sunday, 14th August by some of the local boatmen. Arrangements have been made for boats to assemble at Dunree Fort at 3.30pm and cruise back to Rathmullan with the RNLI Lifeboats.
Lough Swilly Yacht Club has been asked to support the event and we would encourage as many of our boats as possible to attend.
The racers among you will be aware that the Creek 7 race is scheduled for 3.00pm that afternoon. In order to facilitate participation in the Fund Raising Event, it is proposed that the Race will be moved forward to 2.30pm and will finish at Spit, so that boats can then join the boats on their way from Dunree.
Apologies for the late notice on this one, but the arrangements only became clear to me today. There is a poster with details on the gate of the marina, but I’m afraid I haven’t the technical know how to put it on the website.’
In any case, LSYC will continue our support of RNLI and a bucket for contributions will be available in the clubhouse on the day. Don’t forget the Lifeboat Regatta in a few weeks time!
