Changes to the Coastguard Service and How it Will Affect Us,  Jeremy Littlewood

Daytime Meeting at RHYC, Woolverstone

Jeremy Littlewood works at the Thames Coastguard station at Walton-on-the-Naze. You will know that this station is faced with closure as part of the massive shake-up of the service. Jeremy will take up a new role liaising with users of the service and explaining its new method of operation. These changes will affect all sailors and we need to be aware of them.
