NEWS FROM THE DART LIFEBOAT

CHOOSE IT OR LOSE IT
The way that charities contact individuals from 1 January 2017 onwards is changing. From that date you will no longer receive communications from the RNLI unless you have chosen to do so.
On a National Level The RNLI is in the process of sending a letter to all of its members asking them to ‘Opt in’ to receiving future communications by phone, post or email from the charity. You can choose all or some of these methods or ‘Opt out’ completely. If you have not yet received this letter you can still ‘Opt in’ by phoning the RNLI Customer Care Team on 0300 300 9918 or emailing
optin@rnli.org.uk
On A Local Level If you wish to receive news of the activities of the local lifeboat, hear about forthcoming fundraising events or receive news from the highly successful RNLI Visitor Centre on the South Embankment, it will be necessary to ‘Opt in’ to receive those local communications from us.
In future the RNLI Dart team will be keeping you up to
date with an email, sent out regularly, or you can follow events on our local RNLI station web site. www.dartlifeboat.
org.uk.
There are two ways to “Opt in” to receiving news from the local RNLI Dart team. (Please note that this is quite separate from and not linked to your giving permission to hear from the RNLI centrally.)
exeRCIsING WITH THe NeW COasTGuaRD HeLICOPTeR. Times change and the local RNLI volunteers were sad not to be able to demonstrate their life saving skills this Regatta with their colleagues from the Royal Navy. The new Coastguard service provided by Bristow Helicopters do not at this stage take part in public events locally but they do continue to provide training with all the inshore and all weather lifeboats covered from their base at Lee on Solent. The Coastguard augusta Westland 189 helicopter landed on Coronation Park to take an RNLI Dart crewman onboard and then exercised with salcombe’s Tamar class all weather lifeboat in the Bight. Four Dart crewmen and two from Salcombe were winched up from the Tamar and then returned to her during the exercise.
1. You can fill in a form at the Dartmouth RNLI Visitor Centre and leave it there.
2. You can fill in an ‘Opt in’ form by choosing the ‘Contact us’ link on the front page of the
www.dartlifeboat.org.uk website.
