The Tandem Sees The Light of Day

After a little bit of fixing here, a little bit of planning there, and a bit of waiting for a day where constant rain had been kicked into touch, Steve and support rider Mark finally managed to take the tandem out for a spin.
 
Here they are down at Branksome Chine with Moira, our Community Support Worker for Poole and Bournemouth, who was instrumental in getting the lads together for their tandem bonanza. She even managed not to accidentally run them over on her drive back to the office, too – so all good there! 👍
 
The tandem was kindly donated by one of our members, Graham, who wanted to see it put to good use with other members of the DBA community, so we’re delighted to get it out on the road (and on the beach).

Unwanted Christmas Gifts?

Now, whilst Santa is generally VERY GOOD at delivering presents that suit us down to a tee, sometimes the old boy can leave us with a large, ornate wooden seahorse that might be better off with someone else…

If this is the case for you, you could certainly do worse than to donate it to one of our FOUR magnificent charity shops where it will not only go to someone who has been looking for it for ages, but the money they spend on it will go towards supporting our services about the county – WIN-WIN!
