Dig out your bikes

Bicycles...
Everyone is being so very generous & now we ask people to dig into forgotten corners & dig out unwanted bicycles. Bicycles are a godsend on the camp in Calais, the nearest tap can be a 20 minute walk away & the offices in the town where asylum seekers need to go almost daily are a good hours walk away, many who are in the camp have injuries & just cannot manage the trek so bicycles it is.
We would like to gather up as many as possible from the area & get them up to Calais somehow - Peter in St Antonin who is something of a bicycle expert has very kindly volunteered his time in fixing up to a roadworthy condition any that are not too far gone. So please go & hunt about in those dusty outbuildings & see what's lurking! Peter can be contacted at peterquaife@gmail.com 
Bicycles can also be dropped off with Sid & Laura:  green.havard@gmail.com
