Gill Moore the chairman of RNLI Porthleven Branch writes; "Lifeboat Day 2010 had all the usual attractions, apart from the Vintage Rally which we no longer hold on Lifeboat Day. In it's place we will once again be having an organised Skate Jam and for younger children we will be once again having the Play Rangers. Both these events to take place on the Recreation Ground as last year."

The History Of Porthleven Lifeboat Day

In the early 1970's Porthleven used to hold a Gala week until Stan Lloyd came up with the idea of holding a Porthleven Lifeboat day in aid of the RNLI. The Penlee lifeboat appeared at the first Porthleven lifeboat day in 1975 and has been present ever since. The energy of Stan Lloyd and the committee turned Porthleven Lifeboat Day into the major event we know today.

This Page Is Dedicated To Jane Goldsworthy The picture was taken on October 2006 of Jane Goldsworthy (left) standing with Gill Moore (right), Secretary of Porthleven RNLI. Sadly, Jane passed away on 28th February 2007. Jane was a tireless fund raiser for the RNLI as well as other causes. She raised many thousands of pounds for the RNLI and in 2005 was made an honorary life member. Jane will be greatly missed, but the effort she made, in all the tremendous voluntary work she did, will always be remembered.
