Lough Ree RNLI's lifeboat station at Coosan Point, Athlone.

Lough Ree RNLI to host festive ‘pop-up’ shop at Coosan lifeboat station

Lough Ree RNLI is to host a festive ‘pop-up’ shop at Coosan lifeboat station on Saturday next, November 16.

The annual sale of gifts, memorabilia and Christmas cards will take place from 1pm to 3.30pm at the special ‘pop-up’ shop at the lifeboat station at Coosan Point.

As the charity comes to the end of its 200th anniversary year many of the commemorative products specially commissioned for the birthday are still available.

For the junior lifeboat people in your life there are many stocking fillers on sale that cannot be found elsewhere.

The greatest attraction will be the 2024 RNLI Christmas card range which are greatly cherished both by the senders and the fortunate recipients.

Lough Ree RNLI Treasurer, Vincent Rafter said this week: "The charity greatly depends on the support of the local community and we are looking forward to welcoming all our visitors from around Lough Ree to our annual Christmas sale on Saturday."
