As you folks will have read, our recent trip to Barmouth ended in disaster for some folk. Due to extreme high winds, to my knowledge 11 people lost tents and other camping equipment.

If anybody has any spare tents, camping stuff in general that you dont want anymore, please let me know so that we can get these guys up and running for the rest of the rally season without it hurting them to much in the pocket

That's a brilliant idea BJ. I'm sorry I haven't got anything spare. I only have the bare essentials myself. Could try local Freecycles http://www.uk.freecycle.org/

if most of us on BM sent you a pound it would be a lot of money

I'm so lucky I wasn't affected cos I had to leave early but I've seen the piccies and I'm stunned and feel for my friends. I would happily send a pound as Bill suggests. I know that one person in particular lost an awful lot this weekend

I really like that idea. Is there anyway we can set this up to donate £1 ( or moer if you wish!)?? I am glad eveyone is OK but to loose so much at the begining of the season is terrible. I will willingly give to this cause if we can set something up!

Great idea folks but its difficult to set up, and takes time, which is why i was asking if folk had spare stuff so the guys can get up and running asap :)
