Eeor-nly wanted to help. . .

The donkeys at Mablethorpe beach were so taken with the work of the local lifeboat guild, they wanted to join! The ladies explained that special permission would be needed to do any donkey-work, however, the mules settled for helping to raise money for a sponsored swim that day- and possibly a few carrots.

Mablethorpe guild raised over £20,000 last year, and are having a successful 1996 so far..
