Lifeboat volunteers with a combined 300 years service in west Cornwall have been honoured by the RNLI. Long-service awards have been presented to Penlee Lifeboat Station members Janet Madron, who has served 50 years, Rosalie Whitlock (50 years), Andrew Munsen (50 years), Dr Mike Hersant (50 years), Roy Pascoe (40 years), Margaret Pascoe (30 years) and Margaret Pomeroy (30 years). Janet, who is branch chairman, has received the RNLI s 50 years service award for her voluntary fundraising. She originally became involved at Penlee when her husband Stephen joined the RNLI, and although Janet lost her husband in the Penlee Lifeboat disaster of 1981 her unstinting efforts for the RNLI have continued.
