Eight members of Angle Lifeboat Crew were invited to the Amroth Arms on Friday 18 February, to receive a cheque for £1000 towards branch funds.
The money had been raised in two fishing competitions, in 2010 and 2011, organised by Milford Haven and Pembroke angling clubs, and sponsored by Felinfoel Brewery. Anglers from as far away as Somerset and Devon had taken part. The total raised was for the RNLI was £2000, and this was split equally between Angle and Tenby Lifeboat stations.
Representatives of both lifeboat crews attended the cheque presentation with some of the anglers, and, in addition to receiving the cheques, were generously treated to supper and refreshments, courtesy of Felinfoel Brewery and the Amroth Arms.
Community backs RNLI Angle's SOS Day call
The RNLI's SOS national fundraising day on Friday, January 28th, was well supported by the community at Angle and the surrounding area, with over £1360 raised for the lifesaving charity. 
A day of SOS-themed events began with a bucket collection by Angle lifeboat station personnel at Asda’s Pembroke Dock store, where £315.56 was collected. Later, the village's Hibernia Inn quiz night realised £396.91.
At the new Pembroke power station site, a collection organised by Phil Thompson, Public Affairs Consultant in Pembrokeshire for the main contractors Alstom and a member of the Angle RNLI station committee, brought in a further £650.
The total for the day was boosted on Sunday (February 6th) when Angle's Lifeboat Operations Manager John Allen-Mirehouse and his wife Rosie, Deputy Launching Authority, opened the grounds of their home at Angle Hall to See Our Snowdrops.
The event raised £426, which included the £103 profit from the RNLI’s Select Our Station competition. The matching prize of £103 was won by Mr and Mrs Lord, of Angle, and they kindly donated £50 from their winnings back to the RNLI.
