Boscombe Lifeguards - The Return Home

Fri, 22 May 2009 05:19:52 -0700

We have received a letter from the Council to say that the keys for the new unit can be collected.

We are collecting the keys today and it would be a good idea to see on Sunday & Monday if we could start to return some kit back to Boscombe.

At last, after a very long delay there is some movement in our situation.. Being located beneath Bournemouth Pier has been disheartening and has not encouraged members to turn out for either patrol duties or training. As many members need to get into the sea for their Assistant Beach or their Beach Lifeguard qualification, this latest news is very encouraging.

Twilight - Durley Chine

Mon, 18 May 2009 11:55:20 -0700

The first Twilight of the Season will be held this Wednesday 20th May at Durley Chine (Bournemouth Lifeguards).

Hopefully you will be able to get down to Durley either as a competitor or if you could help with (say) starting the various events.
As it is a Twilight evening there will be no training at Boscombe's unit beneath the pier that night.
This year competitors will need a neoprene cap and on top of this a Club quarter coloured cap (the latter will be handed out on the night).
