Louise from Bio Mate is still looking for her paddle that was lost at this year’s event.

If you are able to help please get in touch.

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Still in the sheer hope that it was taken by mistake, I’m making another plea for anyone at the , who was packing away at the end of the day near the Bio Mate stand, to please check if they have picked up a Synergy one piece paddle with medium blade and shaft, and with a number 33 written on a piece of masking tape just under the handle.

It was propped up at the back of the bio mate gazebo on the side and there was so many people packing up all around it could easily have been picked up by mistake.

It was definitely there when the presentations were taking place but had disappeared a short time later.

We are a tiny business and to lose a valuable paddle is pretty awful so I’m really hoping it turns up. Please get in touch with us, or Black Project if it does 🙏

Many thanks ☺️
