The 999 weekend, organised by emergency services with support from the council, has become a firm favourite on the town’s calendar, and included exhibits from police, firefighters, ambulance crews, lifeboat and coastguard.
The free event at Western Lawns allowed people the chance to take a closer look at emergency response vehicles, see arena demonstrations from the police dogs, as well as a sea rescue demonstration from the coastguard.

The responders are proudly holding their new defibrillators which were purchased with funds supplied from the National Lottery Community Fund, Sussex Community Foundation and the Hendy Foundation. As well as the defibrillators the group was able to buy new washable red winter coats, torches and holsters and scissors, which will cut through almost anything.
