The Pwllheli RNLI New Boathouse Appeal has received a boost to the tune of £2,470.

The money was donated by the organisers of the Ideal Boat Poker Run North West, Power Boat Cruise, who presented the proceeds of their 2019 event to the Pwllheli RNLI Boathouse.

This annual event, which was sponsored by Ideal Boat of Pwllheli, Network Marine Pwllheli, URSUIT and GJW Direct, took place along Abersoch and Pwllheli Bay.

In total 25 power boats took part in this year’s event and everybody enjoyed the 30-mile course with the stunning local views of the area.

The money was raised by holding a charity auction and raffle.

Everybody associated with the Pwllheli RNLI team wishes to thank organisers and participants of the 2019 Ideal Boat Poker Run North West for their tremendous donation to their boathouse appeal.
