MVS Putney

Members of Putney Maritime Volunteer Service paying their respects at the Merchant Navy Memorial @MVSHQ

As part of National MVS Day members of Putney Unit held a community event and then had a patrol of the river in one of our RIBs. Great to speak with the local community and explain what we do. Some potential new recruits as well.

@backborwick @RiverThames @MVSHQ @MvsPutney We were very pleased to receive this prestigious award alongside our partner units in Putney and Medway for our devices to well-being on the Thames.

An excellent evening of fire safety training including practical use of fire extinguishers. @MVSHQ putneymaritime@gmail.com

Some great training at the weekend joined by members of our Kingston Unit. #teamwork putneymaritime@gmail.com

An excellent evening of First Aid training focussing on CPR and use of DEFIB. Always good to refresh skills.

A productive day of boat handling training for some of our crew on two of our three boats. And a promotion for crew member Phil. We are looking for new members. Contact us at putneymaritime@gmail.com

Members of @MvsPutney at The Merchant Navy War Memorial for Remembrance Sunday.

We were happy to help a barge that had run aground yesterday and also spotted a seal. An eventful afternoon. Good training for the crew and great teamwork.

It was a real pleasure to take Tony and his daughter Sally for a trip on the Thames on Saturday. Tony used to work for RAF Air Sea Rescue. And we were lucky enough to see Gloriana in the Tudor Pull.

Thanks @MvsPutney for giving my dad (and me!) an incredible experience today! #

Providing some river familiarisation to members of a team planning to row down the River Thames and around the UK.
