Christmas Lights in aid of the the RNLI

 

There will be a display of Christmas Lights at the home

of an RNLI supporter on Sunday 13th December at 25 Shaftesbury Road,

Weston-super-Mare, near the bottom of Ashcombe Park.

 

Leon Beckingham has built an

impressive display of Christmas lights on his house and gardens over many years.

Each year he has a special day when the lights are shown in aid of a charity

which he supports. This year it is the RNLI which is the charity that saves

life at sea. The money raised will go to supporting the work of the RNLI which

is entirely dependent on voluntary contributions and whose lifeboat crews are

volunteers.

 

Mr Beckingham said;

 

“I have been doing the lights for

about six years and have raised about £1000 pounds for different charities

including children's Hospice South West and Clic Sergeant. This year I

choose the Life Boat Service because it’s a service I could not do. I admire

all those people who everyday put their lives at risk each time they enter the

sea (I don't like water) and the increased awareness will help keep donations

for them to survive and save many.

 

Please support our Christmas

Light display .on Sunday 13th December at 25 Shaftesbury Road, W-s-M. near the

bottom of Ashcombe Park. Collection to take place all day and early evening.

 

Thanks Leon “
