Happisburgh RNLI volunteers are holding a open event on Saturday 28 January 2023, from 10am-3pm.
It will take place at the lifeboat station at Cart Gap, Happisburgh, NR12 0QL.
People are invited to call in for a cuppa and to meet the friendly team. There will also be the opportunity to find out more about volunteering for the RNLI to help save lives at sea.
The station is looking for crew and shore crew. Not all the roles involve going to sea however, as the charity is also looking for shop volunteers and fundraisers.
The area Water Safety team will be doing a cold water a safety talk at 10am about sea swimming and how to enjoy cold water safely. This will include information on tides, waves and rips, cold water immersion and what to do if you get into trouble or see someone else in trouble.
The talk will be given by Liam Fayle-Parr lead in Water Safety North – East, also a cold water swimmer. The station would be grateful if people interested in this talk could email their names to [email protected].
