Barge Trips 2012

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 Saturday 16th June 2012 to Saturday 14th July 2012. If your organisation is interested in taking part, please fill in the contact form.
