Coastwatch volunteers receive Royal award

Available for over a year

At the western entrance to Southampton Water is Calshot. The site has quite a history: the castle was built by Henry VIII and what is now the activities centre was once the home of the famous flying boats. There's also a 112 ft tower which is a National Coastwatch Institution lookout post. And earlier this year, NCI Calshot were recognised for their work with a Queen's Award. Neil Sackley was there as the award was presented to the team by the Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire.
