Subject: Purchase of Land and Fishing rights River Ure.

 
Dear Yorkshire Club, 
    A very exciting and 
history breaking opportunity has come our way. After years of being told by 
fishermen & riparian owners that if we wanted access then we should do what 
they did and by some, we have. 
Well we nearly have. 
But we need your help.
Please let me know if you are able to 
join this historic major step forward in Yorkshire canoeing. 
Thank you. 
Dick Constable

Dear 
all,
 
WILL YOU PLEASE KEEP 
THIS INFORMATION WITHIN THE CANOEING CIRCLE.
 
I am pleased to give 
you the news that Last night myself and Ken Harrap successfully bid on behalf of 
the Yorkshire RDT for an extremely strategic patch of land with fishing rights 
on the Ure at Ripon. 
 
The land is just over 
2 acres, with a 120 yard frontage with fishing rights.
It is located to the 
East of the Old Bridge and between the old bridge and the new bypass bridge on 
the South Bank.
It is ideal for 
occasional camping, parking and ingress/egress canoe launching/recovery onto the 
URE.
The land is subject 
to flooding and shortly the Environment Agency will be undertaking flood 
prevention work on the land.
Ripon Piscatorial, 
who are known to be an anti canoeing angling club have the angling up till March 
15th. 2010.
There could be a 
small income off the land from its use as a paddock, a letting of the fishing, 
and donations/charges for canoe camping and parking.
 
We have paid £17,500 
which with legal charges will become £18,000 and there could be a small 
additional amount needed for signage, insurance
A 10% deposit was 
been paid to the solicitors at the Auction but the balance of the money must be 
paid 
on FEBRUARY 
8th. 
 
I have paid the 
deposit and at present the deal is in my name and Ken and I are both prepared to 
contribute to the cost.
 
THIS IS A VERY URGENT 
APPEAL FOR MONEY NOW.
 
I suggest that we 
split the fund raising into GRANTS, DONATIONS and LOANS.
 
Robert can you as 
chair of the YRDT call a meeting ASAP to further discuss 
this.
 
Just a few ideas:- 
 
Can all the YRDT 
committee’s look at their finances with a view to 
contributing.
Can those private 
individuals who are willing to donate please indicate whether their money will 
be a loan to the region or if a donation from a Tax paying individual then these 
donations could be made to the CANOE FOUNDATION which in turn can claim the Tax 
back, effectively a £1,000 donation will become £1,220.00.
Any other 
ideas?
 
But we must build the 
cash up to £18k by February the 8th. So this appeal is mega 
Urgent.
 
Cheers 
all,
 
Chris.
