The new Station,which is owned by NCI Mablethorpe, is a vandal proof steel building, located 50 feet above sea level. We now have an extensive view over the North Shore to look out for dangers and increase your safety.

Our thanks go to the team who worked tirelessly using their skills and experience, including carpentry and metal work, to prepare and furnish the the building to very high specifications. Flower filled planter boxes will soon add a finishing touch to the outside of the building.

Asked why the February 27th date for the change Station Manager Tony Mee said “It is an auspicious date for us as the team’s inaugural meeting was scheduled for the 27th February 2009 and from that date to now what a Team I have; supporting me and working through the hardest winter in many a year, to keep watch out from an open Beach Chalet, so this New Station is an accolade to their efforts!”

The Annual Remembrance Parade at Mablethorpe was joined by our team for the first time, this year. Watched by a large crowd of Local Dignitaries and Voluntary Groups along with Military and Civilian Representatives, Tony Mee, Station Manager laid a traditional wreath of Poppies to the fallen on behalf of National Coastwatch Mablethorpe.

Tony was exceedingly pleased with the teams turn out. A professional and smart body of men and woman he said. Mablethorpe will now know who we are and what we are about.

Tony Harrison, Watch Keeper, attended the Sutton on Sea Remembrance Parade as Team Representative, however he did not lay a wreath.

Tony Mee, commented: “It was nice to know we are becoming known in the local Communities as an active group. This is being reflected in the donations we are receiving and the support of the local General Public”

A plaque recognising the first Major sponsors of our New Station has been completed and is now awaiting the arrival of our new building to which this group have donated substantial amounts. The plaque, embossed by our our own Phillip Eldridge, marks the first milestone in the developement of NCI Mablethorpe and will be displayed in the building.

The new, eagerly awaited, station will be sited on the edge of Seaview Car Park overlooking the North Beach. At an elevation of nearly 50 feet above sea level it will give us a commanding view of the Beach and Sea, enhancing our abilities to SPOT PLOT and REPORT any incidents that may arise.
