Lifeboat Days supported by the SRCMBC

Lymington_Lifeboat_Day_2011 Over the years the SRCMBC supported various Lifeboat Days with Model Boat Displays, photos of some of the events can be viewed below. Unfortunately many of these events are outdoors and the models are at the mercy of the weather. Calshot is particularly exposed and in 2009 strong winds overturned a table causing severe damage to some models. The Club continued to support Lymington Lifeboat Day where the models were displayed in the Lifeboat Station. However participation ended in 2013 when inside the Station became no longer available. The Club still supports the RNLI through the Highcliffe Show, and also donates part of the proceeds of the autumn SRCMBC Charity Exhibition to the RNLI.

Holding the 2011 Lymington Lifeboat Day on the same day as the annual Sailing Club "Bath Race" (Sunday, 21st August) proved a great success. The SRCMBC exhibition in the Lifeboat Station was thronged with visitors throughout the day.

Some photos from Lymington Lifeboat day on the 2nd August 2009. One advantage at Lymington is that we are able to display our models in the Lifeboat house.

The Calshot Lifeboat Day 2009 was held on Sunday 12th July. The RNLI had constructed a fine model boat pool which proved very popular. Unfortunately the site is very exposed and a table blew over causing damage to some models.

The club had a great display at the Lymington Lifeboat day on 3rd August. They had record takings in the shop and a lot of public interest despite poor weather. A framed photo of the Lifeboat was presented to the Club as a token of thanks.
