It has been a week full of celebrations for members of the National Coastwatch Station at Nare Point in Falmouth.
At the beginning of the week, members of the station gathered at the Wheal Dream in Helston for an annual general meeting where Suzanne Allin from the Falmouth RNLI presented service certificates and badges to three watchkeepers who have a combined voluntary service of 75 years.
Gillian Richardson and Cliff and Virginia Malcolm who began shortly after the station opened in 2007 received their 15-year awards.
The Nare Point station now has five service award holders who have been there since it was established or very soon after.
The week ended with the formal opening of the station’s new information and training room by John Strike, whose family have been involved in the Coastguard service for a combined period of 200 years.
