HYTHE Marina is preparing to host its annual boat jumble, with potential buyers being promised plenty of “boaty bits” at knockdown prices.

The event is being organised by Hythe Marina Residents’ Association, which will donate the proceeds to charities in the Hythe and Dibden area.

An Association spokesman said: “This is an environmentally-friendly way of finding homes for kit that is too good to be scrapped.

“If people don’t have time to set up a stand, Hythe Pier Heritage Association will happily take items to help with their fundraising campaign.

The boat jumble will take place on April 7 between 9.30am and noon. Call 023 8020 7073 for more details.
