Headlines for the week ending 15th April

Out and About

WBCT Executive

Directors continue to get out and about meeting the volunteers and recruiting new members. Lots of work on strategic plans. 

Dauntsey Lock Canal Centre

Fantastic progress both inside and out. The original stone walls look wonderful. Well done team!

New Web Site

Web site group about to start rewriting exercise. We are still looking for photos, particularly of people enjoying the canal. Contact Jenny Stratton: jenny.stratton@wbct.org.uk

Melksham Link

Meeting of Melksham Link project team. Agreed response to Wiltshire Council planners. Hopefully will result shortly in a new public consultation on the planning application.

Requests

Volunteer Needed For the Boat Group

We are looking for a volunteer to lead on

taking boat bookings

You will be involved in responding to enquiries from the public via

a dedicated mobile phone and messaging system, managing a booking

speadsheet system, and communicating and co-ordinating with the boat

team, especially on the days when the trip boat is running.

This role would be ideal for someone who wants to help, but may not be

local to our canal, as the whole role can be carried out remotely. 

This role could also be role-shared with a friend or colleague.

If you are thinking “hey, this sounds like it would be good for me”

please get in touch with Derek Flexer for more information.
