The John & Violet Hurrell refit was completed, and launched, and the Harry Childs took her place in the Boathouse. Volunteers from M&S Hedge End decorated the crew room, fixed shelving, provided furniture, and added the finishing touches to our new Lifeboat Station. Finally, 14 years after the start of the project, the Service now has the infrastructure to support a full service going forward. The Service reverted from weekend only, to the previous 365-day per year operation.
