The through galley has vinyl flooring, with a sink and drainer to starboard, and a Lec 12 Volt fridge and Stoves hob and oven to port, with a good run of countertop and open shelves on one side. There are 2 more folding chairs that store upright under the counter next to the open shelves.

Don't concern yourself if you are, like me, a technological philistine there is always someone on the end of a telephone who will either talk you through it or jump in the car and come and help.

Each share holder has two fixed weeks and two floating weeks, (pardon the pun) The share for sale is share 9 whose fixed weeks are the last week in July and the first week in August. The other two weeks are bid for by the owners who submit their requests to one of the shareholders acting as winter holiday allocations secretary who allocates the two free weeks. Mutual swaps are not a problem. The yearly calendar runs from October to October. There are usually four maintenance weeks included in the calendar but none affect the fixed weeks.
