Barge Trips 2007

A small fleet of barges specially designed and built to accommodate people with physical disabilities is maintained by The Bruce Trust - http://www.brucetrust.org.uk . The Rotary Club of Abingdon Vesper hires one of their vessels for three 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'.

Barge Report 2007 from Rotarian John May who helped organise the trips.
'A tale of two newcomers, a barge and a dog' - an account from two new members of Abingdon Vesper Rotary Club of their first day helping with the Barge Trips.
Barge Diary and Gallery - a selection of comments written in the Barge Diary - a book kept on board the barge Hannah, plus letters of thanks and hand-made cards.
