Bude Lifeboat Run

The club has strong links with Bude Lifeboat, with several members either being or have been on the Lifeboat Crew or have family members involved. All surplus monies raised will go to the RNLI to help them save lives at sea and on inland waterways. After last years event we were able to present a cheque for £8032.09!
