I left my old boat at Nottingham, so I could go and paddle it in the holidays.

It was left with Holme Peirpont club boats and I expected it to get used. That didn't bother me at all. When I saw someone using it I spoke to them and they said they thought it was a club boat. This confirmed it was getting used. Like I said it didn't bother me.

When I came to bring my boat home to put in my club house so it could be used. I found the the foot rest had been removed and the actual foot peg was not there and the screw was missing. So someone has obviously seen that they need a foot peg and taken it out. I was shocked that someone in the paddling community would do this.

I know I am not going to find out who did this but I am now going to have to fork out money (that I don't have) to get this boat usable again. :( :( :(
