Well, the boat is serviced and the most likely spare parts to be needed are onboard. The route planning is about 50% complete and the scale of the challenge is now very apparent.
We have a meeting on Thursday 22nd March @ Oswestry Cricket Club (7-30pm) for all those people interested in crewing any part of the 'passage'.
It is most important for all those interested to understand that this is a charity EVENT and not a holiday. Raising sponsorship money is what it is all about. To this end I have decided that a donation from each crew member to our charity of 50p per nautical mile will help cover fuel costs and help maximise the funds raised.
We have 200 charity wrist bands for the 'Passage of Hope' and I am expecting all of them to be sold prior to departure (£5 each) These bands were bought from Oxfam and the proceeds will go to help our event.
Any corporate/private sponsorship will be gratefully received and cheques should be made payable to - Rotary Club of Oswestry Borderland.
