Annual refit and maintenance
Equipment and donations needed
You may not be in a position to donate hundreds or even thousands of pounds to the main refit fund, but could you help with a few of the small items which are essential every year?
Some of these things are specialist items which the skipper will need to order - but plenty more are simple things like bin bags and gloves which anyone can buy locally. If you are coming to refit, could you bring one or two things with you? If you can’t make it to refit, could you buy a few bits and pieces instead?
Some of these items cost less than £2, but it all adds up.
Do please check with skipper Wolf (07771 771864) before you buy anything – it would be a shame if you bought the wrong thing, or if everyone brought the same things, or things which had already been bought!
