  Are their any dedicated suppliers of disabled equipment suppliers/manufacturers?
  I am asking before I try and make several adaptations to my tackle.
  I am looking for light weight off chair accessories but it must be able to be made rigid perhaps with a fitting for a bankstick for extra stability
  Any comments welcome 🙂

  There is a charity that called Demand that make specialist equipment for the disabled that if you can’t find something they may manufacture something for you. I know they have made seated ski’s and boccia ramps, as well as other care products.
  
  Pm me if you want more info

  Thanks but I have it sorted found the perfect chair that comes with everything attached £70
  Now all I am searching for is someone to make me a lightweight trailer for my disabled buggy.

  A few minor adjustments and a bit of welding should get you what you want

  What a star you are 🙂 🙂 🙂
  I am going to investigate the second one as I have to take not only my fishing gear but the camp kitchen as well 😉 SWMBO has to have a bankside cuppa and if she is fishing a match a bacon buttie
  Thanks once again
