Members of the Blackpool lifeboat crew and ladies guild quite literally pushed the boat out on 10 September 1995, raising over £167 for RNLI funds.

An inflatable D class lifeboat was pushed along the promenade to North and South piers where passers by on the Golden mile were encouraged to swell lifeboat coffers.

A tired but happy band of crew and fundraisers returned to the boathouse promising to repeat the event in 1996..
