I received a similar letter this morning. The letterhead would suggest it is a joint initiative between BW and Cheshire Fire & Rescue following the two recent boat tragedies in Cheshire . However, I assume that it is the Cheshire F & R who have instigated this as they have been very proactive recently in advertising their services and offering free Home Safety Assessments. Cheshire F & RS seem to have plenty of money to spend at the moment. No wonder our Council Tax is so high. It might have been better to spend the money on subsidising the price of beer :-) I assume that our addresses have been obtained from BW's mooring database. Phil
