Thankyou to everyone who turned up for a very succesful boat weekend 2009. Friday was a good social gathering for IRB crews in Wales. Saturday was started with technical demonstrations and tips from our Australian guest Peter Hallet, boats then hit the water for what was a very testing day with the strong onshore winds and big messy waves, well done to all drivers and crews for keeping the boats the correct way up, Sunday was a bright and sunny day which kicked off with a team photo followed by exams and more training in the water.
SLSA Wales would like to thank Peter Hallet and family for coming over and sharing knowledge about the boats and engines we use, also to Peter Lake for making Saturday night as enjoyable as it was.
Also SLSA Wales would like to recognise Warren Mitchell the father of the IRB for 40 years of service to the IRB, without Warren we would not be were we are today with this piece of rescue craft.
