Hastings Lifeboats On Exercise This Evening!

The RNLI Hastings Lifeboat Station is launching both of Hastings lifeboats on exercise this evening (25th September). You are invited to go down and see what they do. The ILB launch is scheduled for 1700, and followed shortly afterwards by the launch of the ALB. Recovery will be at approximately 2000, subject to operations (facebook), respect! Well worth the visit folks.

Lifeboat Exercise This Evening

An exercise launch is planned for this evening (Wednesday 16th January) of both Hastings Lifeboats from 18.00, with recovery at approximately 20.00 hours. Another chance to see the new Shannon Class Lifeboat in action, providing she hasn't already been called out in an emergency, of course.

Hastings Lifeboat - Exercise Launch and Recovery

OK, I have to admit I'd forgotten about the exercise launch this morning, being concerned about the Pier, but I noticed her out at sea whilst I was by the Pier, and so rushed along to see the recovery (RNLI Hastings Lifeboat Station facebook page), and took a few photographs; here is RNLI 13-28 returning to the beach, rather fast...

She hit the beach so quickly that I couldn't quite get the correct moment of impact, but this is just as she mounts the beach!

And the recovery continues as she is hauled up the beach, nice one...

Lifeboat Exercise Launch this evening.

This evening, from 6pm (Wednesday 20th June), both lifeboats will be launched from Hastings Lifeboat Station by the Stade; recovery is planned for 8pm, subject to operations. Your chance to see  the RNLI in operation by Hastings beach.

Hastings Lifeboat Exercise This Morning.

Hastings RNLI are holding an exercise this morning, launching at 09.00 beach side of the Lifeboat Station of course, and includes both boats, the exercise usually takes a couple of hours, so probable recovery about 11.00. Many thanks to their facebook page for the image above, cheers!

My apologies for the late posting, I'm having IT issues!

Lifeboat exercise abandoned...

The lifeboat exercise on Wednesday was cancelled due to a call out, next launch planned for Sunday 16th July... Also, Pirate Day!  

Lifeboats Exercise Launch this evening...

Subject to operations, of course, this evening will see the fortnightly exercise of both Hastings' lifeboats from 18.00 to 20.00 hours. - Due to a service call out, the exercise was abandoned, next planned for Sunday 16th July, Pirate Day!

Also, happy to report that £1,088.23 was raised at the Open Day on Sunday, nice one!

Interesting free guided walk today and event tomorrow!

This afternoon, Tuesday 30th May, join the Old Hastings Preservation Society (OHPS) for a tour of Hastings Old Town, the "premier ancient Cinque Port," meeting up at 2.30pm at the top of the West Hill lift. There is a wealth of historic buildings, twittens and cat-creeps to see around the town, and find out why the celebrities of their day did, and still do, flock to Hastings! A volunteer guide will lead the walk, which proceeds gently downhill, but there are steps to manage too. The walk lasts about 2 hours and is free, but the OHPS would be grateful for donations, many thanks, see their website.

I noticed on their facebook page that both Hastings lifeboats will be launched on their fortnightly exercise tomorrow evening, Wednesday 31st May, 6pm to 8pm (though subject to operations). They recommend the harbour arm for the best view; for more details about the RNLI Hastings Lifeboat go to their website, or facebook or twitter accounts.

Lifeboat Training Exercise now!

Just heard that there is a training exercise on until about 11.00 hours, should you be near to the Stade, plus, of course, the Half Marathon today, busy busy!
