Last week, Dinkie Fairley, committee chairman, presented Elma with an RNLI certificate of thanks for her hard work in leading major fundraising events for the charity.

A scroll was also presented to May Montgomery, Ardardan Estate, in recognition of the support they give to the committee, and Mark Tyson of the Royal Bar, West Clyde Street, was presented with a shield for the ‘considerable support’ given to Helensburgh Lifeboat.
