Supporters

With less than 3 weeks to go to K-Day we are beginning to get the boat looking a bit more like with the first of many vinyls being applied, care of the many supporters of our adventure.

Among the first are the Cancer Support Yorkshire details taking pride of place at the front and rear of the kayak. Also the West Riding Province of the Masons, of which Andrew is a long-time member,  have been extremely supportive of our little jaunt and we are very pleased to display their shield at front and rear (especially helpful as they fit well on the pointy bits).

The Canal and River Trust have also provided us with the "Desmond Family Canoe Trail" vinyls. The trail is a CRT-sponsored initiative to produce a canoe route from coast to coast over a 5-year project ending in 2020 using young people as volunteers to get involved with the work.  It is the trail route from Liverpool to Goole that we are following and we are pleased to highlight the good work the Trust is doing to get young people helping in their communities.

Coming soon will be the vinyls of the many local companies who have agreed to support the trip with  generous sponsorship in return for promotional material being displayed on the boat which will make us look more colourful and interesting and sure to start discussions with passers by.
