Canoe Store Break In

Canoe Store Break In

Our canoe store was broken into on Thursday night and our generator was stolen.  Fortunately they did not manage to take any of our canoes or kayaks.  Thanks to Martin, Gill and Gareth who spent most of the day, despite all having other plans, in Coed Gwilym Park assisting the police and arranging and waiting for a variety of locksmiths and repairmen throughout the day.  Gill as always managed to magic up some tea and scones to keep them going andAndy joined them later in the day to assist in a meeting being held at the Heritage Centre and provided moral support.  All security measures have now been reinstated and additional security is in hand.
