AROUND 15 boys from First Bourne End Beavers visited Bourne End Marina last Monday, where they were split into two groups and taken on boat rides up the river.

They were also shown how boats were loaded into the water and raised out of it.

Marina manager Peter Osbourne, said: "They certainly enjoyed themselves. It's just nice to show them what is happening locally in the marina and it also gives them an opportunity to have a look at what we do from in our business."
