Snow-pen Day
Our open day this year was on 6th April.
The Bradford branch of the RNLI set up a display to raise awareness and money for the RNLI. Bradford actually has its own lifeboat and has done since 1859. The current boat is one of the fastest in the RNLI fleet and has been involved in a number of rescues. Listen to Martin Chappellow of Bradford RNLI.
At first, the weather was fine although very cold. However, snow soon started to fall and committee members could be observed sheltering in the clubhouse.
However, the barbecue was out of doors and for some people hunger was a stronger force than warmth.
The day was reasonably well attended despite the weather and some visitors were even brave enough to go for a sail.
Most sailing was done by DSC winter sailors, though...
some of whom showed remarkably little respect for the safety boat and camera crew!
