We had people come along to praise our outstanding performers, especially Lauren, Nicola and Chris.
The day had stalls, competitions, canoe demonstrations and free rides.
The public trip boat was chugging up and down the canal all day providing free trips to the many visitors.
There was a boat parade, which were judged. There were prizes for best handling, best dressed, etc.
There were all kinds of boats, a little steam boat called Twite, that was made years ago by it's owner, complete with it's great little whistle, won a prize for something. It was just such a lovely day, so very different and some how very special by the water, seeing the work and passion that everyone puts into their boats, and the way the canal is being kept up together by the Trust, Just excellent.
