Wanted!

Bradford Ornithological Group (birdwatchers) run an award winning nature reserve at Stockbridge, Keighley and are looking for a small inflatable RIB (or collapsible dinghy) that can be used for ferrying 25kg bags of gravel across a shallow pond to an island. The island was created some years ago to provide a nest site for wading birds and needs a top up every so often. Condition of the dinghy is not important just so long as it floats for long enough to be hauled by hand across a 20 yd stretch of water! It also needs to be small enough to be stored in a small shed so that the local hooligans can't set sail down the River Aire never to be seen again - we don't want to lose the boat after all!

If you have such a craft lying around the house and would like rid of it, we may be able to help! Obviously, we are looking for something for free, but provided it is cheep (!) enough, we may be able to pay a reasonable price. Please email me at the following email address if you think you can help.
