Poole Maritime Volunteer Service were honoured to es**rt Brittany Ferry’s Barfleur as she left Poole for the last time this morning.
I was lucky enough to take part in an exercise when she first came into service, conducted by Dorset Council, to test manning and deploying the lifeboats following a simulated engine fire. No photos unfortunately, just a memory of a cold and wet ride back into Poole from Studland.

Do you know how to spot scams and frauds in this digital age? We’re all a little more savvy thanks to an excellent talk delivered by Karl and the ‘Take 5 to stop Fraud’ campaign.
Rounded off with a review of our own online presence and digital database - rated as robust by Nigel.

We had a great day and spoke to lots of people about our work in the harbour. Training UK's interactive models and simulator added a lot of fun.

Thanks to our own member David for the great photos! 📸

Wow, what a day yesterday! 😎

We had a fantastic time at the inaugural Poole Harbour Commissioners Workboat Open Day yesterday - thank you to all who came to visit us!

Thanks also to PHC for inviting us to be a part of the day - it was great to see all of Poole's workboats in one place. We'll share more pictures when we finish downloading them.
