In addition to the above we hope to arrange a joint visit by Wessex & Lyme Bay Section members to the R.N.L.I.College in Poole on a Friday in late January or February 2009. The College allocates visit dates in September for the following year, so we must await their advice on our application. If we are succesful full details will be advised in the autumn.

Then it is more happy sailing time.
