Burnham
RNLI crew demonstrate their skills at Bristol Harbour Festival
 Burnham
RNLI's helmsman Glenn Cutter was invited to take part in a life-saving
display at Bristol's Harbour Festival at the weekend.
Along
with Weston's RNLI crew, Glenn was involved in a mock rescue using
a speedboat to go to the aid of a "man overboard".
The
man in trouble let off a flare to show the crew where he was and
the speedboat raced over to pick him up.
 Glenn
said: "I was asked by Liam McDermott of the Weston crew if
I would be prepared to come up and see what goes on so that next
year we can share the responsibility of the displays.
"Weston
intends to demonstrate on one day, while Burnham demonstrates
on the other."
