Last week was the happy day when I eventually handed over €800 to members of the Valentia RNLI Lifeboat crew from our photo sale at the June Bank Holiday weekend. The event took a lot of time and effort to organise. I would like to thank everybody from the South Kerry Camera Club for taking part and supporting this cause which is important to all of us.
A special big Thank you to Willie and Franz for getting the panels from Ballinskelligs Community Centre to Knightstown and the clever hanging system that Franz invented. The two did a great job hanging the exhibition and looking after the sales. The money was made mainly on Saturday. The weather effected the sale badly on Sunday with only a couple visitors but Willie, Hugo and Franz were minding the show and kept the spirit.
The Lifeboat station as a location for the show worked very well.
We hope to repeat the photo sale next year and with more sunshine we should easely make a few more euros for the RNLI boat on Valentia Island.
Thanks to Cormac Dineen for taking the photo with Camera Club members and Lifeboat crew in front of the Lifeboat.
