RAY Stedman has taken over as branch chairman of the Wilton & District Branch RNLI from Martin Appleton, who has stood down after five years of combining the roles of chairman and secretary.
Martin will continue as secretary.
The recent annual meeting heard that fundraising for 2012 was £8860.24, only slightly down on 2011 (£8974.79). A very pleasing outcome in these difficult times.
The programme of fundraising for this year kicks off with the house to house collection fortnight from April 6 to 20 with street collections in Wilton on April 11 and the Wilton Shopping Village on April 13.
The Bear Inn, West Street, Wilton is hosting a party on Thursday, April 11 starting at 7pm. Come along and have a fun evening with a quiz and raffle.
A full programme includes the annual garden party at Wilton House in June, by kind permission of the Earl and Countess of Pembroke.
A joint event benefitting the Salisbury Hospice and RNLI, is a fabric sale on September 28 at Wilton Shopping Village, also the coffee morning on November 6.
