Lifeboat collection box
Hi to all
I'm after some advice / help for collecting money at wakes held at my yacht club.
We have good relations with our local RNLI area co-ordinator but there is an apparent shortage of modern, attractive collection items. Infact there only seems to be the dark blue or white Watson pulling boats in tired condition with awkward entries, a slot and a angled hole, into the money holding space.
At our wakes, last week's another good friend who was much too young, the boat is on the bar and causes huge disruption there, as people try to get notes folded or rolled small enough to push in, so we resort to beer glasses around the model.
This unfortunately is considered risky in a large and very busy club bar area.
Last weeks event brought in over £1000 at the bar alone!
A solution I have thought of is to use a RNLI wellington boot on a plinth, as an easy item to push money into, but I would much rather a boat model, maybe a Trent class, as that is our local main boat at Sheerness.
Any thoughts, comments or practical offers would be most appreciated with the ideal future being something that can be donated to the Medway-Kent- South East... whatever area of the RNLI , to assist them in their excellent work.
Regards
Rod
