Volunteer instructors with the Bristol Sea Cadets could face CAZ costs of around £1,000. That's according to the organisation's chair Tim Moran, who says instructor numbers are rapidly declining.
Now the charity, which teaches marine and boating skills to children and teens, has put out an urgent call for more volunteers in order to stay afloat.
Mr Moran said many of its instructors are retired and drive non-compliant cars. They bought diesel cars when told those were environmentally-friendly but now cost £18 per week in CAZ charges to attend the twice weekly meetings.
