    The lifeboat crew will also be in attendance to meet visitors and answer questions about their role. There may even be a chance to consider joining the volunteers as part of the boat or shore crew, in the souvenir shop or perhaps help with fundraising.

    Raffle tickets are on sale now, from the lifeboat shop in Seahouses, the Grace Darling Museum at Bamburgh, or from any crew member.
