24 January 2010 - Thank you to the Friends and Family of the Late Glenys Gratton.
Borth Lifeboat Station wishes to say thank you to the friends and family of the Late Glenys Gratton. Glenys was a good supporter of the RNLI raising money over many years through the local Line-dancing group. The friends and family made donations to the Borth Lifeboat Station in loving memory of Glenys.
02 January 2010 - Night Call Out
The Borth Lifeboat was called out by HM CoastGuard at 18:17, just as most of our volunteer crew members were settling down to have their dinner...
HM CoastGuard received an emergency call advising that a boat, containing two men, was late returning. The missing boat was in the Ynyslas Estuary area. As it was very dark HM CoastGuard called the Borth Lifeboat to prepare a sea search.
The RNLI pagers went off as most of our volunteer crew were settling down to their dinners, but they all responded immediately, and the lifeboat was being prepared and ready for launch when the CoastGuard rang to advise that the missing boat had been found and the lifeboat crew could be stood down.
A good ending, no lives in danger - hope my dinner is still warm...
