Donation to the Penlee Lifeboat

St. Peter’s Art Exhibition

Back in May St. Peter’s held its annual very successful and ever-growing Art Exhibition. Monies raised – £683.29 – was shared with the Penlee Lifeboat Newlyn. So, on Wednesday 20th August Lynda, Diane (Churchwardens), Rev. Derath with Jane and Nigel Haward  made their way to the Lifeboat Station in Newlyn Harbour.

The plan was to have a photo with the RNLI volunteers and relief coxswain Neville Pittman, taken next to the lifeboat and  handover a cheque for £300, but the crews’  pagers bleeped, as we were there, giving us the chance to see how the money would be spent – pair of yellow wellies I thought! With the cheque safely donated, the crew took the lifeboat to sea to give medical assistance to someone on board a yacht four miles south of Tater Du lighthouse. – Lynda, St. Peter’s
