RNLB Doris Joan, a new Atlantic 85, has been on-station at Criccieth since 5th November 2007.

She is longer (8.5m), more powerful (2 x 115hp) and faster (35 knots) than the boat she replaces.

Her cost, £135,000, was met from the generous legacy of a lifeboat supporter.

Over £550 raised so far

Thanks to the hard work of several Amateur Radio stations around the country, over £500 has been raised for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution during the annual SOS Radio Week fund raising event. This is a greta total, but we know more has been raised. Can those who took part and haven't informed us of the total raised please let us know ASAP so that we can post a press release to all the relevant magazines and web sites. Many thanks.

What is SOS Radio Week?

SOS Radio Week is a week-long fund-raising event for UK and Irish Amateur Radio operators raising money for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) that is organised to co-incide with the RNLI's own SOS Fund Raising Day at the end of January.

This web site holds information for those taking part and for those who have sponsored Radio Amateurs for the event. A big thank you to you all, your help is much appreciated.

SOS Radio Week 2009 announced

The date of the next SOS Radio Week has been announced. The fund raising week will start at 00:00 (UTC) on January 24th, 2009, and run through until 23:59 on the 30th January which is the RNLI's SOS Fund Raising Day.

For further details on how you can take part in SOS Radio Week and raise money for one of the UK's most worthy of charities, click here.
