The mayor of Eastbourne, Councillor Carolyn Heaps, has cut the tape and officially reopened the recently refurbished historic RNLI lifeboat Museum on the seafront near the Western Lawns 
Eastbourne RNLI Lifeboat Station’s new £2.7 million Tamar lifeboat – which will be named Diamond Jubilee in honour of RNLI Patron, Her Majesty The Queen – took to the water for the very first time last week (Monday 6 February); 60 years to the day that The Queen ascended to throne. The new lifeboat will also be among the highlights of the Diamond Jubilee River Thames Pageant this summer. 
National charity the Meningitis Trust is looking for teams from offices and businesses in Sussex to take part in its Three Peaks Challenge in May.
Crew members at Eastbourne RNLI lifeboat station launched their lifeboats a total of 128 times in 2011, making them one of the busiest in the whole of the UK and Republic of Ireland.
