Sunday 10 June Safety boaters required for Police Life Saving Competition in Canal basin
The National Police Life Saving competition is being held in the Exeter canal basin on Sunday 10 June. Teams from around the country compete to complete a scenario which includes rescuing casualties from the water.
Exeter Canoe Club has been asked to provide two safety boaters, plus one liaison on the land. They can be in any type of stable boat and will need to be on duty from 9.45am to 12 noon. The role is to be a last layer of safety in case one of the casualties or rescuers gets into difficulty. It will be a superb location from which to watch the competition.
The competition will be 15 rounds of 3 minutes each. The safety boaters' role will be to stop other boat traffic passing by during each 3 minute session.
Please bring a throwline, or borrow one from the club.

Just to say that the Canoe Club has received a very nice belated thank you letter from the Chief Constable of Devon & Cornwall Police for our help with this event. I will put the letter on the club noticeboard.
