I wish I'd been there, even though I have no known connection with the Lifeboat. Did many of you manage to greet each other? Marged A big hello to all those who braved the cold weather yesterday to attend the Hoylake lifeboat Memorial service. It was good to meet other distant rellies and share stories. We shall be meeting up again in the warmer weather to do a photo day, as many people were very cold and we did'nt get round to doing it yesterday. The manager at the lifeboat station has kindly offered to host our little gathering and provide food too. As we discussed, it would be a fitting tribute to the memory of these brave souls lost in 1810 to keep in touch, as the story of their bravery went unoticed for so long, it would only be right to keep the spirit of their bravery in our minds, and continue to make us aware of the amazing jobs all lifeboat crews past and present do, and give them the respect and honour they too rightly deserve. Just remains to wish all your cherished family and friends the best for Christmas, and remember all the emergency folk who will be working or on-call over this time...
