NCI AT THE LONDON BOAT SHOW

8th January 2016. Today sees the start of the 62nd Annual London Boat Show at the Excel exhibition centre and amongst the 400 exhibitors is the National Coastwatch Institution on stand E020. Even though it is only the first day, there have already been several enquiries about volunteering as well as one or two visits from the media.

We have a full team of eight volunteers manning the stand and flying the flag for NCI. From left to right Steve Collins (Calshot), Phil Bridges (Calshot), Kevin Neville (Rame Head), Deirdre Blore (Calshot), Linda Lawrence (Caister), Richard Hews (Polruan) Dan Foote (Polruan), Mike Smith (Rame Head).

About

Currently almost 60 National Coastwatch stations are operational and manned by over 2600 volunteer watchkeepers around the British Isles from Fleetwood in the North West, through Wales, to the South and East of England to Filey in North Yorkshire. 

National Coastwatch watchkeepers provide the eyes and ears along the coast, monitoring radio channels and providing a listening watch in poor visibility. They are trained to deal with emergencies offering a variety of skills and experience, and full training by the National Coastwatch ensures that high standards are met.
