On 20th July at the Yelfs Hotel, Mike North had deligted HRS volunteers and guests with a well documented presentation about the First Life Boat and the Tyne Pilots, starting from the first attempts to set up a Life Saving Organisation to the presentation of photos and information regarding the First Ryde Life Boats. Answering interesting questions in front of an audience of over 20 people, followed by a Raffle, Mike’s free of charge talk has helped Historic Ryde Society to raise £140. Thanks, Mike.
