Our printed banners around the College and ALC will help guide you on where their name appears on the lifeboat, to help you find your loved one quickly and easily.
This event will last 45-minutes, which includes a visit to the RNLI College, light refreshments, and the opportunity to see the Exmouth RNLI Lifeboat.
