- School contacts continue to excite staff and
encourage bookings. High schools will be targeted for
term 3 bookings when the larger TS 16s, the Owl and the
Pussycat, will be available. The Hartz Support Service
has also given positive feedback.
- The new Works Coordinator is Charlie Lucas: thank
you, Charlie for your enthusiasm in taking up this
role.
- Friends' School has kindly donated a supply of steel
to be used on the jetty, and Don Hazell has provided a
supply of pine for the jetty decking.
- A quiz night, held recently as a fundraiser at
Margate Christian Fellowship, was a hilarious evening and
raised funds for MAT as well.
- Arthur Hinsley has completed the mooring pod lines
for our smaller boats. Thank you, Arthur!
- The Cheetham Salt Co. has donated a supply of salt
containers to be turned into lighthouses by the students
in the Shed. When plastered, wired and painted, these
models look superb!
- Our Work for the Dole team is powering on, cheerfully
constructing parrot, lighthouse and other craft kits for
students and continuing to work on the TS 16 and the
smaller dinghies.
- The Islander 360, first of four, passed the MAST
survey with flying colours. (Quote from the Examiner:
'This'll never sink!')
- Would you like to help out by coordinating an area of
Mission Afloat? I would love to hear from you if you have
expertise in catering, cleaning, lawnmowing, boat
maintenance, jetty/moorings volunteer recruitment and
training, and would like to join the coordinators'
team.
- Next meeting of Friends of MAT will be held at 73
Beach Rd, Kingston Beach on Thursday, May 1st at 7.30
