For your chance to experience a rescue from the bridge of a Tamar class all-weather lifeboat, visit the RNLI’s stand (A34) at the ‘Sail, Power and Watersports Show’ at Earls Court in London (26 – 30 November 2008) and have a go on the Lifeboat Training Experience simulator.

Commenting on the RNLI’s presence at the show in the run up to the charity’s biggest fund-raising day of the year, SOS day on 30 January, Andy Whyte, National Campaigns & Events Manager for the RNLI, said:

‘We sincerely hope that visitors to the show will experience the lifeboat training simulator for themselves and that, as sea users, they’ll think about making a regular donation to the charity or get involved in raising money on SOS Day.’

The RNLI’s stand (A34) will also include lifejacket clinics with RNLI Sea Safety volunteers, and a chance for a spot of Christmas shopping as RNLI Christmas cards, calendars and stocking fillers will be for sale.
