Eastbourne 999 Combined Emergency Services Display
On the Western Lawns
Saturday 5th & Sunday 6th July 2008
(Opening Ceremony on Saturday at 11.00hrs)
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
from Lee-on-Solent will be exercising with the lifeboats to demonstrate
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
of our static displays. Representatives from these will be there to encourage
young people to be safe on the beach and at sea with competitions and displays to see.
Come along and see us over this exciting weekend.
