Barton Marine sponsorship for Wednesday Junior Sailing
Barton Marine is kindly raising funds in support of our Wednesday Junior Sailing programme by donating the proceeds of their entry in the 2021 London Marathon. Barton Marine team member and long-distance runner Darren Tuff will dress up in a giant Barton Pulley Block costume and run the Marathon on Sunday 3rd October 2021. This fundraising effort has been registered with Guinness Book of Records as the first Marine Pulley Block to compete and complete the 26.2 mile course!
Since 1984, our award-winning programme, Wednesday Junior Sailing (WJS), has enabled local children over the age of 8 to learn seamanship and experience water sports in a safe, managed environment. WJS takes place on Wednesday afternoons in the summer months from April until September.
Over the years many thousands of Lymington, Pennington, Milford on Sea and New Forest children have enjoyed WJS; some of our British Olympians have even started their sailing careers in WJS.
This new support from Barton Marine will enable us to buy more equipment for WJS. If you would like to contribute to this wonderful fundraising effort, please do so via the Just Giving link:
