Hythe Can Shake

We had a can shake in Hythe on Saturday 20 February 2010 where the residents helped us raise £670.00. Some of the crew including Cam, Damo, Micky, and Annabelle dressed up in their new kit and Tim, Trevor and myself wore the new fluorescent orange over jackets which clearly say 'Solent Rescue Lifeboat' on them. Thankfully the sun shone although it was cold and the people of Hythe were friendly and very interested in Solent Rescue.

The next can shake is on Saturday March 6th at Lymington lets hope we can be as fortunate with the weather and raise more much needed funds.

From The Daily Echo:

Volunteers behind the life-saving Solent Rescue are asking for some help themselves - as they try to repair their weather damaged lookout post.  The Lepe Beach sea rescue crew, which works every weekend and around the clock during busy sailing events like Cowes Week and the Round the Island Race, needs to raise £5000.00 to fix damage to the roof, worktops and equipment.

The team covers a 33square mile area across to the Isle of Wight and down to Hurst Castle.  Please contact the Secretary Kate Walker if you can help.
