Save the Varenly Regatta

We need 4 canoes to keep the Regatta afloat. Malc and I own two and are in charge of a third belonging to Roger. The fourth was put up for sale this morning with a proviso that whoever bought it had to let it be used for the regatta.
This worried me as three others bought when we got ours originally over 11 years ago have gradually disappeared from the scene for various reasons.
So no messing about,  I said we would buy it at a cost of 50 euros to be given to Via Sahel.( thanks to Alan and Caroline for thinking of that)
I will put in 10 euros and am asking for contributions towards the canoe, which can then be used by any of the contributors to practise for the regatta.
We will then safely have the canoes all of the same handicap for this very popular annual event.
There were more than 100 people on the day  cheering on teams, having picnics or eating at the Moulin.
