I've raised £5000 to help fund Boat Building Experience, my latest Community Project - Let's build a boat together! For ages 12 to 99
Organised by Alan Thorne
Story
Building a wooden boat, getting into it and on to the water is magical! It can be a life changing experience. Continuing from our success with Boat Camp for children and several boat building schemes with adults, Boat Building Experience is the new, exciting adventure where pairs of adults or children work with me to create a Joansa,
a beautiful John Welsford design rowing boat.
I don't want to charge anyone to participate. In that way anyone can come along and everything necessary will be provided. People can make a donation if they'd like to. For some it will be a therapy, others will want to learn boat building skills, many will grow in confidence and everyone will have fun as Joansa takes shape and finally floats gracefully on the water.
Not charging a fee means that I need to fundraise to cover my costs and to start the next course. Your help will mean that many people will be helped. Thank you!
Alan Thorne, Boat Builder
