The
Club is well supported by local
businesses (and some from further a
field) that provide us with advertising
revenue and, in most cases, discounts on
boating gear. Members are requested to
use these businesses whenever possible
and show their membership cards when
asking for discount.

purchases a petrol driven power
washer which can be used by
members where there is no
electric feed. If you would
support such a purchase, please
let Bosun Richard Smith know, or
say so on the message
board.
HOPE
COVE LIFEBOAT KEBC

sent in an email to say
that maintaining the Hope
Cove lifeboat PRIVATELY

support and operate the
boat. A PETITION

has been made to this
effect, which requires
signatures. If members wish
to support this PETITION,
follow this link. http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/list . Select
