Local lifeboat charity fundraisers generate £10K
Landlocked fundraisers have collected almost £10,000 for a lifeboat charity in the last year.
More than 80 guests were told the total at the annual lunch for the Rutland and Melton Branch of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).
They raised funds from street and supermarket collections, a jazz evening on the Rutland Belle and a very generous £5,000 legacy donation.
Simon Scholes gave a talk about his career in television and a raffle raised £455.
Their next event is a quiz in Melton on Friday November 10.
