Coming into its eighth year,

EPD have loyally supported the

essential service the Royal

National Lifeboat Institution provide,

splitting the £1,734.86

raised between Teignmouth and

Exmouth Lifeboat Stations.

Kat CurVicious who has been

involved with the event since it

began said: ‘We are delighted

with the total raised.

‘We’d like to thank all the businesses

who have supported us

and the kind donations from the

public that make EPD the success

it is.’

The crew are hoping to raise

even more funds with their event

on September 16 with piratical

songs lead by Teignmouth’s own

Shanty Singer Steve the Bard,

prize raffle, live music and entertainment

in the evening.
