WOW! Thank you to all who came to celebrate our Open Day on our 200th year today!

It has been a spectacular day with lots to do and see, a great lifeboat demonstration featuring Stormy Stan, Littlestone Lifeboat Station and RNLI Hastings Lifeboat Station and a very busy BBQ! 🍔

A huge thank you to our stallholders today including British Divers Marine Life Rescue, Beachside Barber Wendy Carrig Photography 2024, Beach Buddies Working Newfoundlands and much more!

A special shout out goes to the team from Scania, who cycled 44 miles as part of a sponsored bike ride, finishing at our lifeboat station and raising funds for the RNLI! Scania is the provider for engines in Shannon class lifeboats and the Shannon Launch and Recovery System (SLARS) and we are grateful for their continued support!

Grand total raised to be announced!

We had a nice surprise this weekend at the Tabletop Sale on Sunday when we were visited by family members of Ronald Prigmore.

Ronald’s name has been on a plaque of one our lockers for many years when funds were donated in his name for some of the station’s PPE.

It’s always great to welcome the families of donors and hear stories about their history!
