Birthday
donation for Burnham-On-Sea lifeboat station
 A
generous RNLI enthusiast has marked his 65th birthday by handing
over hundreds of pounds to Burnham-On-Sea lifeboat station this
week.
John
Swayne is a paid-up governor of the charity and decided that to
present donations to the RNLI in lieu of presents.
The
end result was an envelope of cheques to the value of £300,
which were handed over to Burnham RNLI Operations Manager Ricky
Holmes.
John,
who lives in North Petherton, said: "I was brought up by
the sea in Exmouth and have supported the RNLI ever since I started
work."
Mr
Holmes thanked John for his generosity and presented John with
a mounted picture of Burnham's lifeboats as a gesture of thanks.
He
said: "This money will go towards training our volunteer
lifeboat crewmembers at Burnham."
