Val says initially I thought brilliant idea but the cost of hiring would be there every year ( Malc pointed out) and as the regatta is a free event it never raises funds, and none of us would want to get into forming an association with all the responsibilities I suspect.Hi ValWith the canoe firms in St Antonin doing the bulk of their business at the weekend, there ought to be a ready supply of life jackets not needed each day during the week. Hiring some would save paying over €200 for something which will be used once a year. If there is an enterprising TAG reader with good French, who regularly uses canoes from the same depot, could he/she maybe have a go at negotiating a day's hire of the dozen or so you need?xC of Caylus
At the moment I am awaiting Sept. when there may be a possibility of buying second hand ones, so a lot depends on how much they would be.
It would be a fine gesture if some local organisation could find it in their hearts to make a donation.
Keep your thinking caps on everyone.
If anyone made a donation, the canoes and life jackets could be made available all year to them
