Dear Humber Yawl Club Member,
On 18th June the RNLI is holding its Hull Flag Day in the centre of the City – based in Queen Victoria Square. The previous flag days in 2007 and 2009 raised nearly £4000 for the Lifeboat Service.
Local supporters and RNLI Branches from Hessle, North Ferriby, Beverley and Withernsea are all taking part. We are looking to get as many collectors into the City Centre as possible. Therefore I wondered whether any members of the Humber Yawl Club might be interested in supporting us on that day. Attached links are a letter going out at the end of this week and a form for completion.
