'Push The Boat Out' Ball

The Caister Lifeboat is proud to have been chosen to be the recipient of the proceeds of this years Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association Ball.

After a history which dates back to 1794, the Caister Station can truly say we are part of the fabric and heritage of this great County.

Since 1969 the Caister Lifeboat organisation has been operated independently from the R.N.L.I., as a registered charity, and today operates both an offshore and inshore lifeboat.

At 37 knots the offshore lifeboat, ‘Bernard Matthews II’ named after the Norfolk turkey farmer, is a Dutch valentijn class vessel and the fastest lifeboat in the British Isles, along with the inshore vessel, Jim Davidson, O.B.E, named after the famous comedian and they both provide an essential part of the lifeboat service on this treacherous coast.

This years’ Ball will take place at the County Showground on Friday, 20th June, 2008 with all the food and ales, where possible, sourced within the County, with adequate offerings for everyone with Norfolk based caterers preparing the food and serving the drinks.

Caister Lifeboat has recruited a Committee from across the County to ensure that this is a night to remember with a red, white and blue theme.

We look forward to your support of an organisation whose motto is ‘Caister men Never Turn Back’.
