ECSAC have in the past organised the annual Menai Run. This is an early season opportunity to get the boats out on the water and give them a good run before the season starts. The event draws together over 30+ clubs from across the North-West and beyond for a fun day out that also raises money for the RNLI. In 2017 we raised over £1,000 and in 2018 we raised over £1,500 for the Beaumaris Lifeboat as a direct result of the trip. You can see all those who took part in 2017’s Menai Run in the photo below presenting the cheque to Philip Greville the Station Manager for the Beaumaris Lifeboat.
