New Burnham-On-Sea lifeboat shop prepares for official opening
Workmen have been busy making final adjustments to Burnham-On-Sea’s brand new Lifeboat Station shop, which is set to be officially opened by TV star John Inverdale during February.
The shop is situated on the seafront next to Sunspot Amusements, and overlooks the Esplanade and jetty.
Run by Burnham RNLI’s Supporters Group (pictured right), the premises is being refitted and brand new signs are due to go up this week ahead of the official opening on Monday February 27th at mid-day.
Well-known BBC TV commentator John Inverdale is scheduled to perform the official opening. His sister, Jendy Weekes, is co-chairman of Burnham’s RNLI Supporters Group.
The group also hopes to open the shop for a week from Saturday February 11th during the busy half-term holiday week.
