'Tawny Owl' Ellen Gardner said 'The children listened to the talk by the crew members with great interest whilst they learnt about the importance of being safe both on the sea and on a beach.
The visit follows the 'Mayday Challenge' that our Brownies took part in which focuses on the 4 key safety messages which the RNLI has adopted as part of the Water Safety Code.'

Volunteer crew member Glen Pearson said 'Both Chandler and I enjoyed our visit to the Brownie group where the children showed a great interest in what we do and learning about sea safety and we also received a very generous donation from the children which was presented to us in Bettys Pots.'
