2024 Photo Competition & Christmas Social<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\nThis year was a very well attended event held as usual at the RNA Club <\/strong>in W G City<\/strong>, with other members joining us via ZOOM. Despite some technical problems due to Bandwidth issues at the club everyone was able to contribute.
Thanks go to Terry<\/strong> for his excellent organisation of the event.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
As well as the photo competition there was a raffle with donated prizes from members which added funds to the Commodore’s Charity <\/strong>fund for 2024<\/strong>. Terry<\/strong> brought along some RNLI<\/strong> merchandise that the members could purchase some last minute RNLI<\/strong> themed Christmas presents that contributed some much appreciated funds to the local RNLI<\/strong> branch.
At all events this year we, the members, contributed over \u00a3400 to the RNLI.<\/strong><\/div>\n
