Kevin retires after 50 years service In May 2007 we celebrated the retirement of our LOM Kevin Escott after 50 years service with the RNLI. During the evening Andrew Escott, Kevin's son was also presented with his 20 year service award. Pictured below are Kevin (left) and Andrew (right). Lifeboat mans Royal Appointment Minehead Lifeboat volunteer Helmsman Paul Marsh received a very special invitation through the post recently when he was invited to Her Majesty the Queen’s garden party at Buckingham Palace. Paul 47, who juggles his busy career as Tea Taster for Miles Tea in Minehead has given over 23 years service both as a volunteer Crew Member and Helmsman confessed to being surprised but absolutely delighted to be invited to attend the garden party on Tuesday 10th July. Paul commented “I have no idea who nominated me for the garden party but I feel privileged to have been asked”. The invitation is even more special as Paul’s wife Denise will also be joining him at Buckingham Palace. Paul added “like all of the emergency services we can be called out any time of day or night and it is our long suffering partners who often have their plans ruined. This is as much a day for Denise as it is for me” Fire Training In May 2006 the crew carried out their basic fire awareness training, the training carried out by 'Three Ways Fire Prevention Services Ltd" involved a lecture followed by a practical session in the use of different types of extinguishers. Below are some photos of the session.(See www.threewaysfire.co.uk for more information)
