The Story So Far ‘Pop’s Up’ at Whitstable RNLI
A pop up display 'The Story So Far' highlighting the RNLI 200-years suggested by Kent area Water Safety Advisor Gerry Skinner had its first outing at the open day held at Whitstable RNLI on Bank Holiday Monday.
Say’s Gerry “It is easy to erect and dismantle and the components fold into a case which will fit into most cars. Its cost has come from RNLI 200-year celebration fund”.
“It has been developed for future use in the south east region from Swanage to Southend and when the precise details are known of logistics and transport are fully worked out it will be available for use in the region”.
