Don’t miss the boat jumble sale to be held on Sunday 20^th May on the old Ramsey Boat Park (old ‘Talk of the Town Site’) on the North Promenade starting at 10am.

This unique event is an opportunity to buy and sell any transportable boats or marine equipment. You can sell from the back of your car (£10 charge), from a 10ft by 10ft plot (£10 charge) or from a 20ft by 20ft plot (£20 charge). Boats offered for sale will be charged at £1 per foot length.

This event is being held in aid of a registered charity, The Wadley Village Trust, Senora Desert, New Mexico, and any funds raised will be used to provide clean water, health care and education for people who can’t afford it.

So remember, Sunday 20^th May, get on down…
