RNLI FUND RAISING DAY
FORTROSE HARBOUR

Dear Members,
I am sure all of us would agree that the RNLI is a Charity well worthy of the support of a Sailing Club!
Next weekend is our Sailing Club’s opportunity to show our appreciation and support of the sterling and indeed essential work the RNLI Crews and fundraisers do year in and year out. As the coordinator of this year’s event I am writing to ask you to try to be involved in some way with the event.
FRIDAY EVENING
Clubhouse and dinghy park tidy-up, please come to help from 7pm onwards.
