Would anyone be able to host a French paddler for a few months?

If you remember Claudine - or not - one of her paddlers would like to stay in England from October 'til March, to improve his English. Wey has a really good social side, and plenty of sessions going on so is ideal for him. He is about 21 and looking for a room to rent. Also he will have a car. The period is a long time, but even if you would like to help for part of that please email Abigail at publicityofficer@weykayak.co.uk. Thanks!
