NCI Social

The Exe Sailing Club kindly hosted our Spring Social Gathering for our NCI Exmouth watchkeepers. This is a pre-season get-together as volunteers can meet up for an anticipated busy season and just before the boats are put back into the water on the Exe.

The event allows those newly qualified, and those who are about to be trained to meet other members of the NCI crew, as our slightly delayed training schedule starts again, after our internal refurbishment in January.

We thank "Friends of Exmouthcoastwatch" for making this event possible. 

10 Years Presentation

The Station Master Peter, and deputy John presented another John with his 10 year service certificate and badge. For much of those years John was also the webmaster, a task he now stands down from.

Temporary Closure

After 25 years and many alterations and additions, we have finally decided to refurbish the inside of the lookout, re-wiring to ensure its safety and to facilitate the necessary equipment. We are replacing all the shelving, storage and decorating. We wish to thank all the local businesses and members of the public who have supported us with this.
The lookout will be closed from 1st January for 3 weeks whilst this work is carried out, during this time our phones will not be operational and our point of contact will be email through our web site at www.exmouthcoastwatch.co.uk .
We apologies for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to re-opening with a refurbished lookout.

Mingle & Jingle

NCI Exmouth were invited to the Community Showcase, Jungle and Mingle in The Strand, organised by the Exmouth Town Council in collaboration with the Exmouth Christmas Village. It calls on community groups and organisations like ours, to participate and share the work of our watchkeepers.
The aim is to foster community spirit, with various groups sharing their activities, promoting volunteering, and highlighting their contributions to the area.
This gives our charity a platform to promote our volunteers who assist the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and showcase the safety we provide to the Exmouth Coastline.
Our Coastal Safety Officer and Coastal Safety Assistants were on hand speaking to others about keeping safe along the coast.

Tesco Collection Day

Thank you to Tesco, Salterton Road, Exmouth for supporting our National Coastwatch collection recently and thank you to those people who kindly donated to our collection in support of the work that we do here in Exmouth from our lookout on Queen’s Drive watching out for the safety of those on the sea, in the sea and on the beaches.
Thank you also to those of our Watchkeeper volunteers who came and helped.
