Cardiff Dolphins are on the scrounge...
Cardiff Dolphins are on the look out for a large secure metal container / cupboard / safe that can be locked and left out of doors in all weathers. This might be the sort of thing that builders secure their tools in on the back of pick-up trucks, or the sort of cupboard that factories store chemicals in as examples... It needs to be lockable and heavy enough that tea-leaves can't break into it easily or lift it up and carry it off... If anyone has a source of such a container (preferably for free or very cheap!) please get in touch.

Legislation on taking scallops from Welsh fisheries. Article 4 of The Scallop Fishing (Wales) (No 2) Order 2010 explains that it is an offence to "fish for, take or kill scallops in Welsh waters during the period 1 May to 31 October in each year by any means, including diving". In effect there is a blanket ban on taking scallops during the Welsh diving season.
