A RACE night in aid of the RNLI is taking place in Hoylake this Friday, September 23.

Eight races - each sponsored by local businesses who are providing prizes - will be held at the Ship Inn at 7.30pm.

Pub-goers will also get the chance to meet members of the RNLI crew and see the Hoylake lifeboat, which will be "moored" outside the Market Street venue.

Sponsors include Hoylake Fencing, Red Rocks Nursing Home, Lino’s Restaurant, GTB builders, the Red Lion in Oxton, FC Hardware, Hoylake Sailing School and the Ship Inn.
