Ullswater Steamers support £2,000 fundraising target
The Ullswater ‘Steamer’ company has kindly donated one of its boats and crew to Patterdale Mountain Rescue Association for a midsummer evening cruise on Thursday 24 June.
“This is a huge donation in kind to the local Mountain Rescue Team,” said Fundraising Committee Chairman, Chris Gaskarth, “and we really appreciate the company’s generosity. We’ve now set ourselves the target of raising £2,000 for the Team from this one night. As well as tickets for the cruise, including a buffet supper and live music, there’ll be a raffle and plenty of opportunities for our guests to meet the Team and enjoy the last few hours of one of the longest days of the year.”
The evening cruise fundraiser also receives tremendous support from other local businesses around Ullswater and Patterdale that donate a large part of the buffet supper and sell tickets. “We couldn’t make the money that we need without their support,” said Chris, “and we hope that those who join us on 24 June will make it an evening to remember.”
The Raven will leave Glenridding pier at 7.30pm prompt and tickets are now on sale, priced £15 including food and music, from Linda Burton of Lakeland Office on 01768 890604 or 01931 712958.
