Landfall Garden Fete |
|
Posted 17.08.10 |
|
The Cook Family organised
another very successful
garden fete on Saturday 14
August . The damp and grey
morning did not deter the
visitors whose generosity
raised £2,500 for the RNLI
in just 2 hours. There
were the usual stalls;
tombola, bric-a-brac, RNLI
goods, crafts and
paintings, raffle, cakes
and refreshments and the
BBQ was doing a good
trade. The introduction of
an auction added an extra
interest to the event. The
RNLI is extremely grateful
to the Cook family for
their kindness and support
in opening up their garden
for this fete. |

999 Day |
|
Posted 12.04.10 |
|
The
RNLI took part in the
Island's 999 Day at
Beachlands on Sunday
11th April. The Atlantic
85 was towed 3 miles
along the beach and road
from the lifeboat where
it was on display. At
3.30pm the lifeboat was
launched from the beach
and joined the D class
lifeboat in a
demonstration. This was
an historic event for
Hayling as the last time
an RNLI lifeboat was
launched from the sea
front directly into
Hayling Bay was in 1924
after which the lifeboat
station on the sea front
was closed. In 1975 the
RNLI then re-opened a
lifeboat station on
Hayling at Sandy Point
on the south eastern
corner of the island
where it is today. Photo

Thanks to Glen Hardy |

03.02.10 |
|
In September 2009
Glen Hardy was the first person
to have circumnavigated Hayling
Island as a swimmer pulled along
by an aqua scooter, a distance of
about 15 nautical miles raising
money for the RNLI. On Sunday 31st
January Glen, accompanied by some
of his support team,
Mum, Laura and Dad, Dave, along
with Eddie Ault and Jack Watts,
presented the lifeboat station
with a cheque for £400.
During Glen's circumnavigation, there
were
strong wind at times, gusting F8
according to Chimet. Delays meant
he arrived at Mengeham Rythe
Sailing Club at 9 pm, in the dark.
Glen was very grateful for
the advice and support from
various bodies, particularly HM
Coastguard, who phoned near the
end to find out if he was OK, and
monitored his progress. Also
to be recognised for their support
were the Hardy family and friends
on support boats, and Matt Smith
on his jetski, who could
get closer to Glen than the
outboard boats, being careful
about their props. |
