| Surplus Direct Ltd. |
Surplus Direct provided 2000 plastic bags in June 2010. These will be great for volunteers to carry the waxy blocks of rodent poison in when replacing the baits in the 800 or so nova-flow bait stations on the island. Thanks Alison, the bags are much appreciated. "Surplus Direct don't sell cheap stuff, they sell GOOD STUFF CHEAP".
