WMSAR visit Fethard Lifeboat Station

0 Comments

June 1, 2016

WMSAR crewmembers had the very great pleasure of visiting our fellow volunteers at Fethard Lifeboat Station yesterday. The team told us all about their inaugural WAVES Festival in association with RNLI which will be headlined by Irish country music sensation, Nathan Carter. This event is to be held on Sunday 28 August 2016 within the walled gardens at Loftus Hall, in the historic coastal area of Hook Head. The family themed day-long music event is being run in aid of the Fethard RNLI fundraising appeal, which is set to raise €65,000 needed for a new Inshore Lifeboat, due to be placed on service in Fethard at the end of 2017. Tickets are available from www.tickets.ie or from selected SuperValu or Centra stores nationwide. We look forward to assiting with safety cover at the event and wish Fethard all the very best in their campaign,
