Happy New Year.

Good news.

As of 22nd December 2023 Calor have reviewed their decision to withdraw the 3.9kg and 4.5kg LPG bottles. They will now supply both cylinders but, stocks will be limited whilst they refurbish.
Bridge Marine Walton has some on order and will have them in stock as soon as they can. Customers can exchange a 6kg propane for a 3.9kg and a 7kg butane for a 4.5kg. Jenny at Bridge Marine has told me these will both be @ £36.75 inc vat.
