Action from Newlyn Raft Race raising money for the harbour lights.

"Newlyn Raft Race this afternoon, organised by Newlyn Harbour Lights, was won by HMS Conor from the Sportsmans Arms PZ, with the Penzance Community Fire Station coming a close second.

What a fantastic afternoon of fun, laughter and huge amounts of community spirit at our 2024 Raft Race!. Wonderful support from Coxswain Patch Harvey and the team at Penlee Lifeboat Station. What would we do without them!"
