Barge Trips 2010

The Rotary Club of Abingdon Vesper hires a barge for four weeks each year to provide special days out for a range of people of all ages for whom such an activity really 'makes a difference'. The specially-designed barge is built to accommodate people with physical disabilities and is maintained by The Bruce Trust

This year's barge trips run from Sunday 13th June 2010 to Saturday 10th July 2010. If your organisation is interested in taking part in the Summer 2010 barge trips, please fill in the contact form.
