Barge Trips 2009
The Rotary Club of Abingdon Vesper hires a barge for four weeks each year to provide special days out for a range of people of all ages for whom such an activity really 'makes a difference'. The specially-designed barge is built to accommodate people with physical disabilities and is maintained by The Bruce Trust
This year's barge trips run from Saturday 13th June 2009 to Friday 10th July 2009. If your organisation is interested in taking part in the Summer 2009 barge trips, please fill in the contact form.
The Rotary Club of Abingdon Vesper is most grateful to our 2009 sponsors:
- Abingdon Town Council
- Abingdon Bridge Club
- BrookStreet des Roches LLP
- Joe Hughes
- RWE npower
- Waitrose Abingdon
