When local Businessman and keen sailor, Jim McGinley, heard that a number of the volunteer crew at Crosshaven RNLI were using Heat Holder socks when on Miss Betty, the inshore lifeboat (ILB), He decided to do something for all of the crew.
Jim, Who’s company distributes the thermal socks, arrived at the lifeboat Station with 30 pairs of the socks to be distributed to the crew and shore helpers for those long cold nights when the lifeboat is at sea on service.
Thinking of the Ladies in the crew, he donated socks in pink as well as blue and green !
Alan Barton, Lifeboat Operations Manager at Crosshaven RNLI, thanked Jim and his Company for his generous donation which will ‘no doubt, give extra warmth and comfort to the crews whilst on service in cold and arduous conditions’
