not harsh at all, at no point did they show there skills nor the facilitys, were the funds come from. didnt mention the log on log of procedures and the extension of time at sea procedure. all i saw where a few old blokes who love the sea and helping people.
i get the feeling you are posting this thinking i am disrespecting these men, i dont mean this at all and hope no one else thinks this way. apologies if this has been misread, but my thoughts were of the piss poor report showiing a few old blokes who love the sea and helping people. hope these men are available to help me if need be
I wasn't having a go at you gilly. I understand your post is directed at ch 7. My comment was (intended) to be a bit sarcastical and probably failed dismally.....
id reckon you should point your ire at 7 if you didn't like the story , not the guys who support WVSR,
they in good faith have gone out of their way to help and support fishos imo and don't deserve your comments nor do they have editorial say on the story
at no point have i bagged the people of sea rescue. yes i said old man shoot (should have explained better) but i also say, show there skills, facilitys, funding and procedures as a possitive.
yes i should have said chanel 7 screwed it up but i didnt, because i believe sea rescue would have seen the final shoot before airing.
I'm with you gilly as I said shithouse on ch 7 behalf even my mrs said what was the point in that. The shark off trigg got more air time wow a shark in the ocean how interesting
Also disappointed with the storyline and no fault of the volunteers interviewed. Good on all the "Old blokes (and young ones) who love the sea and helping people" for giving up their time..... Just hope I don't need their assistance anytime!
I'm in training for the Leeman Sea Rescue, on the log on log off mic, hope to hear from you all when I am experienced, so far have only had one training session and loving it. Was a bit disappointed that they didn't show ALL Sea Rescue groups, as more than just one.
The idea of the article was to show the type of people involved with Sea Rescue and what it takes to be a volunteer.
We spent 3 hours on the water with them and they filmed over an hour. Whilst only a portion was shown at least they were willing to promote the group which in the long run helps with sponsorship. We will also get a copy of all the filming done on the day so we can use it ourselves
We did not get to see it before it went to air
Whilst I am not so young anymore I still work fulltime, have a wife and 3 daughters and currently the Commander of the group.
The biggest issue we have is that when an incident occurs they rarely mention the volunteers who go out save YOUR lives. I was actually told by one reported that unless someone is dying or badly injured they don't want to know. I went out one night to transfer an injured crewman of a trawler 15nm of Mindarie. 2 boats and 8 crew went out in rough conditions, but because his injuries were minor it was not reported
So before you bag channel 7 have a think about when was the last time a TV station promoted the sea rescue volunteers. SES and Fire Brigade are always on just because of a little storm or a search for a missing person.

Same thing applies all the way up and down the coast, if its not sensational news they are not interested and the same goes if their chopper isn't involved.

That's a bit harsh.
These guys do a great job and any publicity is good in my opinion.

Very poor effort ch 7
There is so much more ch 7 could have shown about the sea rescue group.

This would be a good story
This would be a good story and for public information for one of the community TV stations. Unfortunately the Fed gov is cutting them all loose.

It's not all old guys
It's not all old guys either. Younger folk are certainly more than welcome to get involved.
