Over its many decades the RNLI Ladies Darts League has been such a huge support to both Littlestone RNLI and flanking station at Dungeness RNLI. The two stations are close in proximity but also professionally very close, our volunteers work well together when an emergency needs us to. In 1988, a new station Atlantic 21 class lifeboat B573 The Lady Dart and Long Life II was placed on service at Littlestone RNLI, this charity lifeboat being kindly provided by the Ladies Dart League and Allied Breweries.
