Mr. Paul Boissier, the Chief Executive Officer of the RNLI, paid a visit to Falmouth Station on Thursday 9th December, to meet and chat with members of the volunteer crew and support staff. Of the 70+ people who work at the station to keep it running in first class order, some 40 of them were able to make it on Thursday to meet their Chief Executive Officer, including the Coxswain and several members of the lifeboat crews, some of the Visit Guides, who show members of the public around the lifeboats, and ladies from the Guild, who raise so much money for the station to enable it to function. He was accompanied on his visit by Adrian Carey, the RNLI Southwest Divisional Inspector.

Paul Boissier was undertaking a tour of the lifeboat stations in the Southwest Division of the RNLI to meet as many of the volunteers as he could, and to give them a chance to see him and meet and talk with him.

Whilst at the station Paul Boissier took the opportunity to present a bouquet of flowers to Heather Nicoll, who has been a volunteer at the station since the early eighties, for her sterling efforts over that period to the RNLI in general and Falmouth Lifeboat Station in particular.
