In keeping with Macmillan's 'Not Alone' campaign we will be wearing the green Not Alone T-Shirts tomorrow, we haven't got many, as you know I don't like to accept things that cost Macmillan.

Here's the latest advert for the campaign...

Behind the scenes we have been supported by so many, and that's why I am supporting the RYA's KIll Cord campaign.

I have a few stickers of all different sizes, so they will be available tomorrow along with the secondhand parts, except these stickers will be free, so no donation required

Spot the kill cord sticker...

The new RYA kill cord stickers come on a sheet of all different shapes and sizes so it's easy to find one that fits the gap...

So you can go wild or keep it simple

Our RIB 4 Macmillan will come with four kill cords

But to honest, it's all about routine. And there's nothing wrong with a well placed reminder

Well done Chris and all at Henshaw Inflatables Ltd. You have all worked so hard and what you have done for this project will never be forgotten.

It was great to see you and the team at the boat launch and everyone said how great it was for a director to get on so well with your team. This work is an absolute credit to you all

Total raised
£1,857.00
Gift Aid
£454.25

Grand total so far = £2,311.25

The Money raised from the Boat launch should be going in tomorrow.
