The Best Guide for the NN12 Area

RNLI Raise Staggering Amount

Chris Insall Chairman of Towcester Branch of RNLI supported by the Jeff Sutherland-Kay Chairman of the Northampton branch collecting at Waitrose during their very successful weekend.

3-day RNLI Collection at Waitrose, Towcester, Friday-Sunday 13th/14th/15th June 2008, came to an amazing £2,886.28!

This was a wonderful result, and reflects the great generosity of Towcester people, and those from the surrounding areas. The Northampton Branch of the RNLI is most grateful to Waitrose, Towcester, for allowing them to make this collection, and for their warm co-operation and support in setting it up.

The D Class Lifeboat tha was put on display by kind permission of Waitrose, Towcester, proved to be a popular attraction both for young families and the older generation, especially for those with hobby or professional maritime interests.

The people of this most inland part of the UK have always been generously supportive of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), but the sum donated at this collection was stunning! Well done, the people of Towcester! Sincere thanks to you all, and to Waitrose for their support and help.
