CONGRATULATIONS to members of Angle lifeboat crew on their awards!

On August 20, RNLI Regional Operations Lead Ryan Jennings visited the lifeboat station at Angle to present members of the crew with various awards.

First up was Danny Richards receiving his 50 year long service award. A fantastic achievement and a worthy recognition of the commitment Danny has shown over the years.

Secondly, members of the crew were presented with awards for their actions in three back to back shouts during Storm Betty on the evening of August 18, 2023 with Force 10 winds gusting 56 knots and 6-metre seas.

Chair’s Letters of Thanks and Chief Executive’s Commendations went to Paul Cleaver, Bruce Moore and Danny Richards for their part in saving the life of a solo yachtsman after his vessel struck rocks and began to sink off Dale Fort, followed by assisting a yacht in Dale and finally aiding a yacht with two persons onboard who had declared mayday 30 miles south-west of St Ann’s Head after severe weather conditions tore their main sail and fouled their propeller.
