The RNLI Lifeboat Station has been presented with a state of the art Laptop computer along with all the latest training software and peripherals by the owners of the Marine Parade Hotel Eastbourne.
Mr & Mrs Jerome and Carol Farrow presented the Laptop along with a cheque for £690. The total monies raised amounted to over £1600 by selling raffle tickets to their guests throughout last year.
The valuable training software includes Navigation, Simulated Radar and Lights and Buoyage systems. All these can used in the training of new and existing Lifeboat crew members.
Mr & Mrs Farrow said they were delighted by the response of their guests to the idea of holding the weekly raffles in aid of Eastbourne RNLI. Additionally, it is anticipated similar raffles will be held throughout this year and again able to raise valuable funds for this charity organisation.

Eastbourne 999 Combined Emergency Services Display

This year at the 999 Display you will have the opportunity to meet with the crews
of the Eastbourne All Weather Lifeboat and the Inshore Lifeboat.
Both Lifeboats will be demonstrating their Skills and techniques at sea
in front of the Display area. It is anticipated the new Coastguard Helicopter

how they winch a crew member down and recover from a lifeboat.
Other sea borne demonstrations will also take place during the two days of the Show.
Souvenirs will be available to purchase from our Fundraising stall
located in the RNLI marquee.
The RNLI's Beach and Sea Safety Scheme for youngsters will be a major part
