More than 20 people attended a meeting at the town's lifeboat station on Wednesday evening (August 11th) to hear how they can assist in opening up the station to visitors and help with promotional activities. A smaller group of supporters stepped forward to form the core of the new group - Gaye Watts, Catriona Crook and Jendy Weekes (pictured below) who will be working with Geoff Gates, chairman of the existing Burnham RNLI fundraising group.

A
brand new supporters' group for Burnham-On-Sea RNLI has been formed
following a successful appeal for helpers.
Martin
Cox, Burnham Lifeboat Operations Manager, said: "This has been
a very encouraging evening. We have attracted a good cross section of
people from the area who are all enthusiastic to get the new group started.
They are already talking about opening the Lifeboat Station during the
August Bank Holiday weekend."
While
the Supporters' Group has no hands-on responsibility for either life-saving
or fund-raising it is invaluable in helping ease the pressure on current
volunteers by assisting with arranged events.
