Rotary supports Accessible Boating
Rushmoor Rotary presented a cheque for £1000 to Accessible Boarting to help pay for a new engine in the Dawn, a specially adapted canal boat used by the elderly and those with disabilities.
The Rushmoor Club regularly hire the boat and take appropriate groups for trips. They are all trained by the Accessible Boating organisation before being allowed to take the boat out! The money came from the Rotarians themselves not from the funds collected on the street collections. Acccessible Boating.
