Combe Diver Purchase
 | North
Devon weather
can be deeply unhelpful at times....
If the wind has N, E
or W in it there is
nowhere to hide and blowing over a
4-5 knot tide it
creates a short sharp
sea that is horrible to be on.
1998 was a bad
summer and we found
ourselves cancelling weekend on weekend.
Rather
than let this destroy the season,
a group started travelling down to
the Lizard
and Hope Cove and found more sheltered
diving. |  | Our
own small inflatables were getting old
and were not suitable for the
numbers involved
so they had to use chartered RIBs and shuttles.
At the
AGM a proposal was put up
that we should consider buying a RIB.
The full report of the process of our decision
making can be downloaded by clicking here
(.rtf file 34K).
We
funded the purchase without grant aid
as we have a rolling program of
fundraising.
We did have to use our overdraft facility
but we are now
back in the black. |
