Tim Griffin from The Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK) visited Freshwater Independent Lifeboat on Sunday to thank the crews personally for their hard work and to present awards to those that couldn’t attend a prestigious event at Worcester Cathedral earlier this year.
The lifeboat station received 14 awards for various levels of service across the volunteer crew, with a combined service of over 200 years.
90-year-old Pearl Morley and her family were able to attend on the day – Pearl reluctantly retired this year after dedicating 12 years as a volunteer at the station.
Recognition of Service 40 years:
Martin Gould, Dave Kempster, and Paddy Longmore
Service Medal 12 years:
Tony Moore, Ray Scott, Rob McLaren, Pearl Morley and Sandra Theale
Certificate of Thanks 4 years:
Kai Hall, Ronan McCann, Tom Stafford, Andy Dye, Tim Lee, and Sean Galloway
Tim Griffin of the RLSS UK said:
“It’s great to see members of FILB being recognised for all their hard work. The RLSSUK appreciates the independent lifeboat station for their continued involvement in keeping the bay and surrounding coastline safe.”
