A major fund raising event for the Lytham St Annes Lifeboat Station with something to keep everyone interested will take place at the All-weather Lifeboat House. Members of the public can be shown round the Mersey class lifeboat “Her Majesty the Queen” and view the D class Inshore lifeboat “Sally” as well as viewing the inside of the boathouse on the Promenade next to the swimming baths and boating lake. Volunteer lifeboat crew members will be available to talk to anyone who wishes to find out more about the lifeboats or the RNLI voluntary lifeboat service.

Stalls, games, children’s rides and other attractions will be there to entertain all ages as well as a BBQ and a pop-up café to stave off any hunger pangs which may show up throughout the day. A raffle and secret auction for adults will be available while children can meet Stormy Stan the Lifeboatman, Darth Vader and one of his Stormtroopers. Nicky Flash will bring his Magic and Children’s show to also help to keep the young, and not so young, happy and entertained.

Plenty of live music will be provided throughout the Fun Day during a mini folk festival with one of the main contributions being from the TV stars, the Liverpool Shanty Kings with many more performances from other singers and groups. For a full list of performers please visit the Station website www.lythamlifeboats.co.uk/events.html

A new game called “LAUNCH” will receive its debut at the event but as it is the first time it has been played it will use a full size D class inshore lifeboat as the playing pieces instead of the more house friendly board game pieces which the public may buy. The proceeds from this game will be going to a special appeal for Lytham St Annes which will only be revealed on the day.

A free classic bus service will run between the Station’s Lytham boathouse (opposite the Queens Hotel on Central Beach) and the South Promenade boathouse where the Open Day and Fair is being held.

The aim of the day is to give everyone a fun day out as well as to raise funds for the RNLI, the charity that saves lives at sea. So why not come along and enjoy yourselves and meet the volunteer crew?
