Sidmouth Surf Life Saving Club has thanked a sponsors for funding a gazebo to use on the beach.

The structure gives young members somewhere to change into their wetsuits and safely store their kit when they practise and at competitions around the South West.

It was sponsored by Jurassic Coast Coffee, where operations manager Julian Burton said he was ‘really pleased and honoured’ to continue to support the club. He added: “We have watched this club flourish and grow over the years, which is a testament to [club chairman] Dave Manley and his team for all the hard work that they put in, and to all of the young people of Sidmouth who also continue to use and support a worthy club.”

Dave said: “It’s fantastic to get a sponsor like Jurassic Coast Coffee who continually support the club and help it grow. It is only with such sponsors that the club will succeed in contributing to the development of the area’s young people and educating the general public on water safety.”
