📟📟📟 01-Sep-23 16:39:14 - HUNSTANTON - Launch ILB. 📟📟📟

Craft launch to search for swimmers fighting against the tide.

Both Hunstanton RNLI craft launched just before 1700 to locate and assist 2 persons believed to be in the water off Hunstanton lighthouse.

B848 Hunstanton lifeboat launched first and proceeded to the area to start the search, nothing to be seen other than a pot marker bouy consisting of 2 fenders tied together.

Shortly after H003 Hunstanton Hovercraft launched to perform a shoreline search.

Hunstanton Coastguard Rescue Team met the first informant on the cliff top who updated that the suspected casualties had made it ashore before the RNLI had launched.

A later call from Hunstanton Sailing Club confirmed they were safe at the clubhouse

Hunstanton RNLI returned to sataion the be refuelled and rehoused ready for service.

We’ve listed some upcoming dates below:

With your help - and generous matchfunding from Aviva - we were able to purchase NWT Sweet Briar Marshes last year 💛

We’re now moving forward with exciting plans to transform this special place into a new wild space for the people of Norwich and beyond.

As part of this, we want to know what you think the new reserve should look like! Restoring valuable habitats for wildlife is part of our mission - but we want to make sure that it's also a space that people can come and enjoy, and to feel closer to nature.

Take part in our survey: http://www.norfolkwt.uk/SweetBriarSurvey 🌞

GROUP TRAINING CLASSES FOR ALL LIFE STAGES

🦴 I limit places to 4 in class as larger groups tend to be chaotic and noisy, which is not a good learning environment for both owners and the dogs.
🦴 We train outside as this represents a more true to life experience for the dogs.
🦴 We only allow kind training methods. Using force, pain and intimidation to train animals is not acceptable.
🦴 The class categories reflect the different age associated life stages.
🦴 As well as group classes, I also offer Private 121 Training.
🦴 Puppy training should begin as soon as you bring puppy into his/her new home. Don't wait until 6 months of age.
🦴 Enquiries via email if possible. Taking phone calls and responding to voicemails can be tricky when I'm out in the field most days.

Our house was once half of Thornham School. The West side (ours) was the Juniors and the East side for Infants. I love seeing old photos and try to imagine the children coming through the doors over the years….
