NCI Exmouth Presentation Team were invited to give a talk to a group called “Sidmouth Forum” based in Sidmouth. This group meet monthly for a range of activities and occasionally have guest speakers from local organisations. The group were told about our charity and how our volunteer watchkeepers are an asset of His Majesty’s Coastguard. The PowerPoint presentation was delivered by Hugh S, one of our trainers and supported by John F, one of our Veterans. It was well received with lots of questions about the dangers of the Estuary and the role of our organisation in Search and Rescue.
Thank you for your hospitality and the tea.
