RNLI

Thought this thread on my other board was a good indication of what can be started on the internet:

Tight lines,

Elton, we might have disagreed over a certain issue recently, However, you have my 100% support if we (AN) adopt RNLI as 'our' charity. Matches could be organised to raise funds, Auctions, etc, I have no doubt others will have other ideas. Count me in on this one

[great white]

yes i am in full agreement with this idea and have passed my thoughts onto t.c. these people who risk there lives to save others i cant say enough about,and god knows when one of us may need them.good luck with the idea and hope it works you can count on me for a donation.cheers john.

Every sea angler should be a member of the RLNI - paying your annual sub IMO should take precedence over any money you spend on tackle, bait or charters.

 

Have never needed the services of the RNLI and hope I never shall, but it is a considerable reassurance to know they are there if you should need them.

 

Personally, I don't regard them as a charity - rather I see them as an essential piece of insurance. That's why I am an RNLI Governor.

 

Many people spend a large annual fee on organisations such as the AA in case their car breaks down, but seem to grudge paying a similar sum to RNLI.

 

Breaking down in a car is merely inconvenient, having a boat break down (or busting an ankle when rock fishing) could be life threatening. So you will need the RNLI a damn sight more urgently than you will need the AA !

 

I'll support anything you do for RNLI - may I suggest a slogan :-

 

"Push out the boat for the RNLI, folks, one day you may want them to push a boat out for you"

I agree that this is a very worthwhile idea. The RNLI is in my opinion our very much overlooked emergency service who don't get the same recognition as the public sector services.
