Richard found a message on the AQSC answer machine requesting some sailing for children. On ringing the phone number quoted he found that Kingston Social Services wanted a sailing activity day for a group of children with learning disabilities. As Richard managed to get some help from Barrie Jones for the Safety Boat and from Laurie Bridges with a second Signet, he agreed to do it; but with some trepidation as we didn't know what to expect. |

The helpers were very appreciative and said the day was much better than they expected and asked if they could return next year. Activities are arranged for Monday and Friday through the summer holidays for the children. |

It was a very successful, enjoyable and satisfying day and none of the children were any problem. It was great seeing them enjoy themselves so much. Richard has received a very appreciative letter of thanks and a substantial donation for AQSC from the Children with Disabilities Team. They would like to return next year. |
