|
THE Lough Swilly RNLI
will host their annual Open Day next Sunday. The
local crew will display their Atlantic 85 Class
Inshore Lifeboat along with the auxiliary launching
facilities including boarding boats, launching
tractor and quad at their base in Ned's Point. |
 |
A demonstration of the
Atlantic 85 during a launch will be held around
3.30pm and again at 4.30pm.
The station’s All Weather Tyne Class Lifeboat will
also be accessible to the public at Buncrana Pier on
the day.
This will allow members of the public access to all
levels of the boat to view the facilities aboard.
Crew members will be on hand to answer any |
questions and showcase
the facilities.
Lifeboat operations manager, Liam Magee, said: “This
is a good family day for children of all ages. There
is always a great interest in the boats and this
event allows everyone up-close access to the
equipment at the station and on board the boats.”
The annual Open Day takes place on Sunday, June 20
from 2pm to 6pm. |
