On the 13th January 2024 our Sea Cadet Band played as part of the last quarter mile leg of the 125th annual celebration of the RNLI Overland Launch at Porlock Weir in Somerset. 125 years ago, due to severe weather, the Lifeboat team at Lynmouth made the decision to hike their boat 13 miles over land to Porlock Weir where it was safer to launch and rescue crew of a vessel in trouble, which they did. The 2024 procession involved over 100 people pulling the boat overland.
It was an honour for our Band to be invited to such a special event. It was a cold day but as ever our Cadets and Adult Volunteers did us proud.
