This morning some of the team met at the station for a New Year coffee.We took sometime out to put together our flag pole for the first time. The flag pole was given to us by the family of the late Ian Surface who passed away in 2009.
When the Chief Coastguard opened the station in Feburary 2008, he touched on the fine traditions of the Coastguard Service, something here at Swanage we are very keen to continue.
All Coastguard stations use to have flag poles and when we had the new building it was something we felt was missed but very important to mark events
So at last in memory of a long serving Auxiliary In Charge (now known as a station officer) the station has a flag pole that can be put up (its not a fixed structure) to mark official events.
