Support the RNLI – you may need them one day!
Oakham and Stamford Schools are doing a nautical fundraiser for the RNLI together with the Rutland Sailing Club Youth & Juniors. You can donate here http://www.justgiving.com/RutlandDuckRescue . It may not be obvious as to why they are rescuing plastic ducks from Rutland Water but they are. If you wonder who the RNLI are – they are the volunteers who rescue sailors in distress in all weathers without receiving any financial support from the government – everything comes from the likes of us!
