Nursery pupils enjoy visit by Burnham hovercraft and Coastguards

Excited youngsters at a Burnham-On-Sea nursery enjoyed a visit from the town's rescue hovercraft and Coastguards this week.

BARB, the charity that operates Burnham's two life-saving rescue hovercrafts, was invited to the Playaway Day Nursery in Maddocks Slade for the special educational visit, accompanied by Burnham Coastguards.

The 25 children, all aged between one and four, got a chance to see The Light Of Elizabeth hovercraft and Coastguard rescue truck up close.

"The children really enjoyed the visit," said BARB crewman Andy Croker.

"They learned a little about the dangers of the beach and had a wonderfully noisy time, trying out the sirens and loud inhalers!"
