Rotary Sail Into Life — Bunbury Committee can arrange to have
enough volunteers on hand and equipment
setup.

out our photos of our previous sailing
seasons, and the ramp that has recently been made wheelchair
accessible and fitted with a
hoist.
We now have
a portable pontoon in and a hand rail on the
jetty in place for October. This means that from November
we should be fully wheelchair accessible. For more information on
the progress of this please contact any of the committee
members.
Volunteers!! Yes we are looking for volunteers.
