Many congratulations to Tim and all the crew at NCI St Agnes Head on Tim’s success at becoming the station’s youngest-ever watchkeeper!

Tim is now 18 and he passed his watchkeeper assessment with flying colours and has now received his epaulettes. 

St. Agnes Head NCI was approached last year by Tim, a local 17 year old who wanted to know if he could become a Watchkeeper. Tim has an interest in the sea and is currently studying Marine Engineering at college. His aim is to work in the Merchant Navy.

Supported by NCI St Donat’s Bay where there is an established cadet programme, NCI St Agnes Head watchkeepers Sally and David obtained the necessary safeguarding checks. They said it was an absolute pleasure to teach Tim, adding that it was made easy thanks to Tim’s quick and enquiring mind.
