AN angling club has raised £900 for a lifeboat station by holding a fishing competition.
Blackhall Navy Sea Angling club recently handed over a cheque to Mike Craddy, station manager at Hartlepool RNLI.
The money was raised by competition entry ticket sales and donations from the 170 anglers who took part fishing the stretch from Fox Holes pipe to Steetley Pier on the North Sea.
The money will be used to replace equipment stolen in a break-in at the RNLI offices.
