The Community

After the call out the other night and after we were officially stood down by the operations room, we were invited into Ocean Bay to warm up by the owner Tim Lightbown.

Tim has always been a great supporter of the Coastguard Team both at Ocean Bay and at the Bankes Arms at Studland, in fact many of our incidents start and finish at his premises in Studland.
Being a very popular location in Studland Tim and his staff see a lot of people visit and its a good place to start when we are searching for people in those areas.
Some years ago after a lady had driven off the slipway at the ferry, Tim invited the team back to the Pub to warm up and recharge our batteries.

So above is Austen enjoying his coffee and biscuits at the bar (networking with Tim!)......support from our community is very important to the team, and we are proud of all our support.
