In addition to issuing general safety advice, the RNLI run a lifejacket clinic where anglers can bring their life jackets to be checked and where they can receive advice and instruction on the correct use and maintenance of life jackets.

The team pay particular attention to the automatic inflation type of jacket that’s most commonly used among recreational anglers in the UK.

It’s an essential item that should just part of the process anytime you’re getting on the water but it’s something that’s all too easily taken for granted.

You need to be sure it’s fit for purpose and capable of doing its job if the worst happens and you end up in the water.

Please make sure you pay them a visit while you are at our event – you never know when you might need the help of the RNLI! https://rnli.org/
