Joint F&L, MCC & RWB Teams:
Plans progressing for the Peterborough Arms BBQ & Exhibition on 18th June. Marquees have been sourced just in case of less than perfect weather.
RWB:
More water than usual in canal at Templar's Firs. Railway track just higher up had flooded and the line was closed by Network Rail in the pm. Possible cause, according to Network Rail: flow of run off from nearby new housing. That's what we said would happen:its time LA's listened to us about drainage! Good thing there is a canal to take the water.
Volunteer Fair at RWB library on Wednesday 18th May. 6 pm to 7 pm. RWB Branch talking about Studley Grange Wildlife Trail and looking for volunteers.
East Vale:
Attendance at first event on Saturday at Faringdon. A very busy day with lots of interest about the canal. And lots of positive comments about NEV and the consultation exercise. Pity the consultation wasn't still open!
Next event: Fawley Park, Henley on 21st & 22nd May. Event organised by our President, Sir William McAlpine and Lady McAlpine. We are looking forward to it. Canals and steam, what's not to like!
