Burnham-On-Sea lifeboat station appeals for new volunteers

The Staines Whitfield lifeboat being launched last Sunday

Burnham-On-Sea lifeboat station has appealed for new volunteer crew members, shore helpers and tractor drivers to come foward.

The station urgently requires crew and a tractor driver who must be available in the daytime.

Experience is not essential since full RNLI training will be given to all those who are accepted. Volunteers can be male or female.

Crew member Ian Jefferies volunteered after the last recruitment driveTo come foward, call in at the RNLI Lifeboat Station behind Somerfields supermarket any Wednesday night between 7 and 9pm or any Sunday morning between 9 and 12 noon. Alternatively, call Lifeboat Operations Manager Martin Cox on 01278 781249.

One volunteer who joined during the station's last recruitment drive is Ian Jefferies (pictured) who is now a fully trained tractor driver.

Ian said: "Being involved with the RNLI gives me a sense of achievement. There is a good team spirit at Burnham, and the tractor driving can be exciting."

Applicants will need to either live or work within 10 minutes travelling time from the Lifeboat Station.
