MDL ran a ra e on its waterfront boat show stand, giving berth holders the chance to win a Musto BR1 jacket and trouser wet weather combo, worth over £300. Additionally, MDL invited its berth holders to join the team for ‘Charity Hour’ in the lounge, charging £1 for refreshments with all proceeds going into the charity pot. MDL is a primary supporter of the Blue Marine Foundation which works to provide innovative solutions to over shing and has initiated a conservation project to replenish the Solent’s oyster population. Jacob Kean-Hammerson, BLUE’s Solent Project Manager says: “MDL Marinas has made a huge contribution to BLUE’s Solent Oyster Restoration Project. Thanks to MDL’s support, the project has been able to restore 20,000 native oysters across nine MDL marinas. This additional contribution will help us continue to restore the native oyster to the Solent and demonstrates the amazing work that can be achieved through strong partnerships between industry and conservation.” For the past 40 years MDL Marinas has developed a close relationship with Ocean Youth Trust South, recognising its fantastic work with young people and the life changing experience that sailing can o er. An annual ve- day trip for inspirational young people on board the charity’s Proli c also forms the basis of MDL’s Sail Training Awards. Mark Todd, Chief Executive of Ocean Youth Trust South says: “MDL is one of Ocean Youth Trust South’s most valued and long-term supporters. We are so grateful for all that they do for us. The money that MDL has raised will ensure that more young people’s lives can be changed through the voyages we can offer for those who couldn’t otherwise afford to sail”. “The amount of money raised is fantastic and we are delighted that we can continue to support our two chosen charities in this way,” says Maxine Lane, MDL’s Head of Marketing . “The work that they do in their respective fields makes such a difference and we will continue to get behind them and their endeavours again this year.” Left to Right: Blue’s Solent Project Manager, Jacob Kean-Hammerson, MDL’s Head of Marketing, Maxine Lane and OYT South’s Staff Skipper, Peta Koczy Last month Phoenix Country Music Club saw ‘Laredo Duo’ take to the stage for their regular night of coun- try music. Although the night was a move away from the traditional and was presented in memory of a recently departed member Wendy Mould. Wendy fought a three-year battle with a series of cancers. Each time winning the battle, but each one leaving her weaker and more vulner- able. Her battles nally ended on 9th March 2020. Wendy was loved by everybody as was proved at the crematorium service where 200 friends, relatives and associates attended to say farewell. Phoenix C. M. C. paid their respects with a live rendition of the Alan Jackson song ‘Remember When’ (as played in the chapel) and the evening closed with the full ‘Trilogy’ in her honour. All thoughts are with her husband Mike and the family. e next meeting will be on Saturday 4th April when the country duo. ‘Best of Friends’ return to Marchwood to provide the entertainment.
