Stepping Out – RNLI
Posted on June 15th, 2015
Stepping Out was a specialist outfitter based on Hayling Island. Each year the proprietors organised a fund raising fashion show with all proceeds going to the local RNLI branch. The event ran for 6 years and became so popular that two performances were planned in order to seat the 500 or so paying guests. XTC are renowned for their contribution which comprises; lighting, sound, video projection of live and pre recorded material and radio links for stage management.
XTC staff and friends manned the sound and lighting desks for this live and un-rehearsed coming together of well choreographed performers in a show environment. Due to venue availability all of the XTC kit has to be installed and tested within hours of curtain up and then disassembled and removed within an hour or so of the finale.
XTC have a close connection with the RNLI on Hayling Island with a team member being an ex Helmsman. We have installed the radio antenna’s on the current Boathouse and help maintain the radio links to the weather station Chimet situated at the entrance to Chichester Harbour. We have provided professional facilities for past Annual Crew Dinners held at Hayling Island Sailing Club including staging, lecterns, cameras with live video projection, taped projection, mood & Disco lighting, sound reinforcement, A/V mixing and a Disco. The guests were entertained by a series of amusing award presentations to the crew members before floating onto the dance floor.
