A last minute opportunity from Gwennili Trust

Monday, July 30th, 2012

We’ve just received the following message from David Harris at the Gwennili Trust. I should imagine that this last minute opportunity will get snapped up very quickly so, if you’re interested in taking it up, please contact Mr. Harris promptly on the telephone number given below to avoid disappointment.

Dear Sailor

As a result of a late cancellation we are able to offer, at very short notice, the opportunity for a disabled but ambulant sailor to join a 5 day cruise on the conventional yacht, Brightside.

  • Dates:                                  Fri 10 to Wed 15 August
  • Embarking/disembarking:   Gosport
  • Destination:                        dependant on the weather and ability of the crew
  • Cost:                                    £15 per day contribution to running costs paid to the Gwennili Trust plus £10 per day for victuals in cash to the skipper - total £125
  • Previous experience:           not necessary

If you are interested please contact me as soon as possible.    Also, if you don’t want to receive messages like this from the Gwennili Trust any more, let me know.

Best wishes

David Harris

Introduction

The Douglas Bader Foundation is a charity organisation, formed in honour of Sir Douglas Bader in 1982 by family and friends, many of whom had flown side by side with Douglas during World War 2. Douglas was honoured in 1976 with a Knighthood for his contribution and work on behalf of the disabled. The mission of the foundation is to continue Douglas' work in conjunction with and on behalf of individuals with a disability. read more >

There’s already our popular Forum for information, support & chat. But sometimes you may feel in need of something extra.

You’re special to us you know! So we thought you’d like a more personal service for more specific advice or maybe to make a 1-2-1 contact with another amputee.
