Members of PArkside club present a cheque to Tynemouth Lifeboat Members of Parkside Club, Seaham, have raised a fantastic £2,500 for Tynemouth RNLI lifeboat, in memory of two fishermen tragically lost at sea.

The club darts teams raised £1,500 and other club members, including the widow and young son of Rob Temple, who was lost with brother Brian Allison when the Jann Denise II sank off the Tyne on November 17, 2004, raised another £1000 by being sponsored to take part in the Seaham Boxing Day dip and having their heads shaved.


	Tynemouth lifeboat volunteer 2nd Mechanic David Thompson, who took part in the search for the Jann Denise II, said: “This is a fantastic donation which will be used locally to help save lives at sea. We know how devastating the loss of the two men was to their families and the fishing community, which makes this donation all the more appreciated.
