2025 Photo Competition<\/strong> & Christmas Social<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

This year was a very well attended event held as usual at the RNA Club <\/strong>in W G City<\/strong>, with the meeting also available via ZOOM for those members who could not attend.
Thanks go to Terry<\/strong> for his excellent organisation of the event which was run with his usual professionalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as the photo competition there was a raffle with donated prizes from members which added funds to the Commodore\u2019s Charity <\/strong>fund for 2025<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terry<\/strong> also 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.
