The Mablethorpe and Sutton on Sea Lions have donated to us, Two lovely new Marine Radios. On these we shall be able to Monitor all the Marine Radio frequencies including Channel Zero the HMCG channel so we will be aware of what is occuring in and around our patch. Station Manager Tony Mee accepted the radios on our behalf. We thank theMablethorpe and Sutton on Sea Lions for their continued support, especially after the very successful Race Night held at the Montalt Arms Mablethorpe and that raised a substancial amount, so we thank you and look forward to putting our new pieces of kit through their paces.

Vandals have struck again on the new local National Coastwatch Station at Mablethorpe, in a copy cat attack on the halyards of their flagpole; similar to the attack of three years ago on the NCI station at Ingoldmells when flag lines and pulley’s were also slashed and stolen.
The local Police has been alerted to the incident over last weekend. NCI Station Manager Tony Mee said “it is a great pity that some people cannot value others property, especially when it is supporting the possible saving of lives. The evidence of the Union Flag gives the public the signal that we are watching and thus we are there to look out for them!”
The halyards, which were obtained by public donations, have been replaced and the Union Flag flies over the NCI station whilst the watch keepers are on station. NCI Mablethorpe are still looking for Watch keepers to join the team to enhance their hours of operation, and should you be interested in becoming a Watch keeper then contact Arch Stevenson on 01507478406
Last Monday dawned bright and early for 4 Intrepid Trainee’s – it was their day!
First to go under through the test was Tony our leader and he aced the appraisal and so did the the others – So Pauline and Bill need a a pat on the back for a job well done. Our new Watch keepers’ success must act a a catalyst for the the rest of the team to aspire to Watch keeper because without you we can only shut up shop and that is not an option. So get out the training manuals and brush up on Flags ands Phonetics and a tip look at the wall when you are in the station!
WELL DONE THE NEW WATCH KEEPERS!
