Blackpool ladies lifeboat guild held a sponsored walk across Morecambe Bay on 14 June to raise funds for the Institution. The walk was led by the Queen's Official Guide, Cedric Robinson and was highly successful with over 200 people taking part - coming from the Widnes guild, Cumbria, Yorkshire and from all over Lancashire - and raising over £3,000.

There is still sponsorship money coming in from the event and the Blackpool guild would like to thank everyone who took part and gave support. It was an excellent day which was enjoyed by all and the guild hope to hold another walk next year..
