Mike Felton and his Dartoff Angling Boat Club recently held a fishing competition for Dart RNLI Lifeboat and raised £1,360.

Club chairman Mike and competition organiser Mike Johnson handed over a cheque to Dart RNLI acting fundraising committee chair John Butler in front of the Dartmouth RNLI Visitor Centre & Shop.

32 anglers on 14 boats took part, with Dart’s B class on hand to open the day.

Mike Felton, part of a family of RNLI supporters, also passed on his thanks to fishing competition sponsors and said: “We hope to do another competition next year, bigger and better” .

“We have 27 boats in our club and you never know when we might need the RNLI.”

Dart Lifeboat Station was first established in 1878 and re-opened in 2007 after being closed for 111 years.

It currently operates B Class and D Class inshore lifeboats.

The shop number is 01803 832423.
