Serious Fun

You may be wondering whatever happened to the RNLI film on sea safety for anglers that Arron and I helped with back in June. Well, the project was part of something much larger than just a safety video - it is a whole safety, information and of course fund-raising programme branded "Serious Fun" that will run for the next few years.

Apparently the RNLI revenue from legacies is declining, the value of their investments has been hit in the current financial crisis and quite rightly, they are making leisure users of the sea aware of their need for funds. The Serious Fun DVD will be launched at the Excel Boat Show in London (9-18 January) and covers all aspects of leisure boating with short films on each category of water sport including our sea angling film stars "Salar" and "Aquaholic". As soon as the DVD is made generally available I will put links on my web site. We wish them all the best with their campaign, and if you feel like subscribing, I recommend an annual membership by Direct Debit, it is quite painless and also very helpful.
