This is what to do with your lifeboat after she has come out of service for the winter: push her for 12 miles along the road between Burry Port, Dyfed, and Loughor, pass a few pubs on the way and with the sponsorship collected in each pub and the money that is thrown into the lifeboat en route, hand over a grand total of £1,300 to your station branch treasurer. The picture shows Burry Port crew during the sponsored push for which the local Paragon Laundry presented a trophy to the Joiners Arms, Llwynhendy, for gathering the most sponsorship.
