Beaumaris lifeboat crew assist disabled yacht

On Sunday 19 September, the volunteer crew of Beaumaris Lifeboat were called out to assist a yacht which had got into difficulties when its electrical panel became flooded.
The yacht was taken in tow by another yacht belonging to a Beaumaris lifeboat crewman but as they approached Puffin Sound it was thought that assistance was required with the tow as the conditions in the sound would make things difficult. The Beaumaris lifeboat was launched and took over the tow taking the disabled yacht to its mooring opposite Bangor Pier.

Two Inspiring Girls Sing for Beaumaris Lifeboat

Two 12 year old girls, Ffion Wynn Davies from Penmynydd and Ffion Medi Jones from Llanfair PG, recently raised an incredible £165 for Beaumaris Lifeboat by singing at a celebratory birthday party.


The party was in honour of Ffion Wynn Davies’ grandmother, Maud Page Croft’s birthday, whose guests enjoyed an evening being serenaded by the girls singing a duet as well as a solo performance each.

Both girls are already talented signers and used to performing. Ffion Wynn Davies won the Beaumaris Talent Show in 2009 while Ffion Medi Jones came third in the folk singing category in the Anglesey Eisteddfod in 2009 and together they decided to put their talents to use. Ffion Wynn Davies said; “We thought it would be a good idea to use our performance to raise money for Beaumaris RNLI as the charity needs greater awareness and our support. We wish to thank everyone at the party for helping us raise so much.”
