Their monthly meetings have included talks about a voyage to the South Sea Islands, beer brewing, HM Coastguard, inland waterways and a visit to Hong Kong. They have also visited Humber lifeboat station and a local brewery. On the fund raising side they have helped Sheffield branch on flag day and with the organisation of the Sheffield Marathon. Their RNLI stall at the Sheffield Show sold over £300 of souvenirs - despite terrible weather.

Major E. S. Hall, a keen Shoreline member, organised a wine and cheese party last July with the help of Darlington branch. Over 60 friends and supporters came and they all very much enjoyed helping to raise £121 for the second year running.Description Quant.
