Just £9k off Hunstanton appeal target
WE'RE just £9,000 away from getting a new lifeboat at Hunstanton's RNLI station after a bumper donation from Lynn Rotary Club.
The club has handed over 1,000 to the 125,000 Lynn News Hunstanton Lifeboat Appeal after raising the money with a charity music concert.
The further 1,000 raised from the event has also been donated to Lynn's True's Yard fishing museum to help towards its expansion plans and new sound archive.
The concert was held at Lynn's St Nicholas' Chapel in July and featured music from the Cantabile Youth Choir from Lynn, the Sheringham Shantymen, Lynn's Springwood High School Concert Band and the Virginia Children's Choir from America, which was visiting Springwood at the time.
It was the first charity concert Rotary had organised for ten years, but it was such a success there are plans to hold it as an annual event.
Vocational chairman Bob Ward said the club often supports big charities, but it was decided this time that all the money raised should go to local good causes.
