FRIENDS OF THE KATHLEEN & MAY
Dear All,
You may or not be aware that the only surviving working example of a 3 masted
topsail schooner the Kathleen & May is being sold by auction as she is far too
costly for one man to maintain and run. She is currently costing around £1000
per week to keep her in shipshape condition. ‘The Friends of the Kathleen & May’
have set up an online petition (E petition) on the 10 Downing Street website to
draw the government’s attention to the fate of this unique local icon, and help
keep her in her home port of Bideford, Devon.
Please sign the petition by ‘clicking’ the link at the bottom of this page. It
will only take 2 minutes of your time to complete and by doing so you will be
helping to preserve a beautiful, classic and historic vessel.
After ‘clicking’ the link you will be taken to the petitions home page, fill in
your name, email address (twice) home address and postcode then click the button
marked ‘SIGN’.
(All of these details are kept private except your name which will be added to
the list)
10 Downing Street will immediately send an email to the email address that you
have given, you need to open this email and ‘click’ on the link in it which will
take you back to the petition page and complete the process.
Could I ask you please to forward this email onto 5 of your friends as we need
as many signatures as possible?
Thank you for your time, from the:
FRIENDS OF THE KATHLEEN & MAY
