Poole Radio Society, located on the south coast of England, have been invited to participate in the RNLI 200th anniversary celebrations on the 18th and 19th May 2024 as they have their HQ at Poole, Dorset.

The group are planning to participate with suitable demonstrations, special call etc. There will be thousands of attendees - the event is open air on Poole Quay - and this is by far the biggest event the Poole Radio Society have participated in, aiming to present amateur radio in the best possible light (and recruit hams from the boating community!)
