Beer Festival

The IRT turns up to say hello.


What a lovely beer festival. A number of off duty Coastguards popped over to The Bankes Arms at Studland on Sunday to try a few of the 200 beers on offer. The proprietor Tom Lightbown is very supportive of the Swanage Coastguard Team, and it was nice to share a beer and have a chat.

We all got home safely from the beer festival; I can confirm that none of the Coastguard Team threw themselves over the handlebars of their mountain bike and fractured their wrist in an attempt to get out of fitting a new kitchen.

Meanwhile in other completely separate and in no way related whatsoever, not even a little bit, news......

......we have heard that a member of the Swanage Lifeboat crew may have broken his wrist.  Not sure how this happened, but I think he was on the way back from some event, somewhere near Studland.

To preserve his anonymity we shall call him 'Secret Chef'. Although there is little point as it's Swanage Lifeboat Week and he will be easy to spot as he'll be the one wearing the plaster cast!!!

So give him a wave if you see him.... just don't expect one back!

Get well soon 'Secret Chef'.

No plaster cast (yet?) just a splint.... Fracture clinic Thursday week to find out the damage!
