Tankard from Ronan O'Rahilly's private collection
Maldon, Essex, United Kingdom
Aim
This prize draw is running to raise money for urgent and essential repairs to our radio ship 'Ross Revenge' in dry dock to secure her future
The Prize
Our draw prize is a pewter tankard which belonged to the late Ronan O'Rahilly, founder of Radio Caroline. Ronan was awarded the tankard as runner-up in a snooker tournament and it is engraved with the inscription: '2005 London Club Snooker Competition Runner Up Ronan O'Rahillly'. The tankard measures 4" high x 3 1/2" base width.
The Cause
'Ross Revenge' is in urgent need of dry docking, where surveys and important maintenance can be carried out. Our prize draws will supplement our fundraising appeal to achieve our goal of securing the future of our historic ship for generations to come. The former pirate radio ship 'Ross Revenge' is still regularly broadcasting at sea today and more than 1,200 visitors tour the ship each year. The vessel is an important part of both deep sea fishing and broadcasting history. To lose her would be a tragedy.
