GORING RESIDENTS RAISE MONEY FOR NCI SHOREHAM

26th April 2017. NCI Shoreham has been presented with a cheque for £1,300 by the Goring Residents Association.

The cheque was presented to Shoreham National Coastwatch Institution by Eleanor Millward, the newly-elected chairman of Goring Residents Association, at the group's annual meeting.

The money was raised through raffle, bar and quiz profits, as part of the association’s social programme. Social secretary Alison Chapman said: “Shoreham NCI plan to use the funds to enhance their radar provision with Automatic Identification of Shipping (AIS). This speeds up vessel identification in the event of an incident developing.”

NCI Shoreham is open all year round during daylight hours and the public are welcome to visit.
