About 3 years ago Mark Atherton, a leader from 5th Douglas, visited the Douglas Lifeboat Station with his group and went onto become a station volunteer. Recently he gave his group a tour of the station. Split into groups they watched a video about lifeboat rescues & fund-raising and had an in-depth tour of the lifeboat itself. The members showed great interest in the Lifeboat Service, with many questions about the boat and operations.
Special thanks go to Tony (the lifeboat mechanic) for arranging the visit.
The Douglas station has crew meetings on Sunday Mornings, with launches at 9 am fortnightly, and Thursday evenings. The station welcomes visits from members of the public as well as pre-organised groups.
