Skegness RAFA volunteers say big '˜thank you' for support
The local branch of RAFA held a number of events during the weekend.
Due to the weather, one of the main venues at the Welcome Inn was cancelled and the street collection curtailed after a couple of hours to give the collectors time to dry out and another had to be abandoned due to ‘a mix-up with council regulations’.

Terry Allen, of RAFA, said: “We would also like to make a special mention to Skegness Train Station for allowing us to use their premises on Friday March 30 and Monday April 2 and The Royal Hotel, not only for the donation of a prize but for the use of the facilities for admin and counting purposes but also for safe keeping of money collected.
Overall they managed to raise £431.17, which in no small part are thanks to the donations from many local businesses.”
