Hi Guys
John's family have asked if I would mind dealing with some of his caving/cave diving gear and books. They were unsure of what to do with it all and it was taking up space in the garage, so I offered to identify some of it (some of it takes a bit of identifying !!) and we agreed on a fair way of finding it all new and appreciative homes in the caving/cave diving world which we know John would want, rather than consigning it to a skip or ebay.
John's younger sister and very close friend, Dany, ran the Berlin Marathon on the day John died in the Doubs and she is running the London marathon in his memory, raising money for the RNLI - a cause to which John contributed monthly by Direct Debit.
Over the next couple of days (I'll get as much done today as I can)I will sort through the stuff and list on here items which may be of use to people. A donation to the RNLI, worthy of the item (especially books) is all we ask in return.
Donations can be made via Dany's fundraising page :
http://www.justgiving.com/danymaneely
Or send a cheque made payable to the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution)to me at :
17 Avon Terrace
Salisbury
SP2 7BT
I have a rough idea of the value of items, so only sensible offers/donations please. You will still get a bargain !! To claim an item, simply drop me an email christine_grosart at yahoo dot co dot uk or give me a call 07815 316681.
I'll hold the item/s for you until the donation is received and I will endeavour to get the item/s to you, trying to avoid P&P where possible.
If anybody oop north would like anything, please make your claim before next thursday 29th jan as I'll be leaving for the Dales the next day and can ferry stuff up with me.
Items to follow - It is first come first served, unless I think an offer is too cheap ;-)
There are some items which have no monetary value, but need good homes - these will be marked RHP (re-home please !!!)
