The Arbroath Lifeboat Guild held its Annual General Meeting at The Commercial Inn, Arbroath, last Wednesday.

The meeting was chaired by Mo Morrison, who presented current lifeboat coxswain Sam Clow with a silver quaich as a gift for his service with the Arbroath Lifeboat station.

Sam, 28, has been the coxswain with the lifeboat ‘Inchcape for almost five years and has been involved in a great many rescues during his time, but is now moving on.

He is relocating to Tynemouth where he will take up the role as cox of the town's Severn class all-weather lifeboat, ‘OSIER’. The Annual General Meeting of the Guild also marked Sam`s last day at the Arbroath station.
