Hopes for 2003

Thanks to Ken Jones, Manager MDL Hythe Marina Village for the offer of free winter storage for "Knight Errant Venturer". Their excellent security will prevent this boat being vandalised while ashore.

Our only problem will be the replacement of the Diesel Engine in our smaller inflatable Rescue Boat.

The boat is used to train our younger Cadets, and when they pass their RYA Level 2; allow them the ultimate challenge of taking it out on patrol. The boat is 22 years old and the engine is giving endless problems. Several years ago it was hoped to replace the complete boat; but the project was again turned down by the Lottery.

For private individuals who send us a donation, may we mention that under new Charity Tax Laws, Gift Aid for any sum no matter how small - we can recover the tax element and increase the value of your donation if you write a note to say:

" I ...... ........, wish that tax may be recovered from the enclosed gift, and any future gift from me unless I let you know to the contrary. I am a tax payer."

Signed

Sincere thanks to all our Friends and Charitable Foundations who have made the Venturers possible.

Captain P G Pearce-Smith MBE VSC
