SUNDAY JULY 31st

Sunday 31st July 2011 is the date for Newbiggin RNLI's Lifeboat Day the major fundraising day in the local lifeboat calender but also in a year that marks 160 years of lifesaving at Newbiggin. The event gets underway at 1.30pm again at the lifeboat station and the Ladies Guild will be running a variety of stalls to raise money for Newbiggin RNLI. There will also be music and entertainment provided by local bands during the afternoon. At sea the lifeboat will be launched and carry out a rescue demonstration. Again there is an opportunity to meet the volunteers and see for yourself the rescue equipment which is based at Newbiggin. An RAF helicopter from RAF Boulmer has been asked to attend the event also and their display, subject to operational requirements will take place during the afternoon.
