I have liaised with Kevin at Portsmouth and we will get some ads out soon to try to sell spaces on coded RIBs. I will post link up when on websites

Below is a Email I am in the process of sending to our suppliers and customers, one of our suppliers Cable management warehouse has already made a donation of £50.00

Hi

As in previous years, instead of sending Christmas cards we will be donating £300 to charity. This year it will be going to the “Round Isle of Wight 2014 for Macmillan Cancer Support” event, which I will also be taking part in.

On the 29th June 2014 we are going to circumnavigate the Isle of Wight in Rigid Inflatable Boats (Ribs) and our chosen charity helps families who are affected by cancer and provides the support they need.

If you would like to see more information please have a look at the webpage:
http://www.justgiving.com/Rib-net?utm_source=emailvision&utm_medium=email&utm_ca mpaign=FR_page_creation

We wish you a happy and prosperous 2014!


Kind regards
From all at Enterprise Cabling Services Ltd

Definitely worth taking part. If you cannot carry enough fuel yourself i am sure one of the bigger boats will carry a jerry can for you.
