Launching of new Rescue Boat
The new Rescue Boat "Bessie Thorburn" was launched on the 26th of September and christened by the local State Member of Parliament, Ms Di Farmer.
A large contingent from the extended Thorburn family was on hand to witness the event, with the name of the new boat honouring the matriarch of the Thorburn family who was an outstanding member of the club and womens committee for over fifty years.
The boat was able to be purchased with the aid of a grant from the Community Gambling Benefit Fund, after tireless work from Greg Morrison in the application for funding.
