Fun on the Bridgewater

THE Bridgewater Motor Boat Club, along with Halton Disability Partnership once again opened the club to the people of Runcorn for a day of fun, music and entertainment, writes Hilary Foster.

The event was opened by the Mayor of Halton Councillor Shaun Osborne who together with the Mayoress took a trip on the charity boat The Wizard on loan for the day from Warrington Disability Partnership.

Second event

This is the second successful event that has been hosted by the boat club which was enjoyed by young and old alike. There was a never-ending queue of people eager to take their first trip by boat along the canal which were provided free of charge. Picture by Duggie Wildman.

The boat Chester Castle was loaned by Claymore Narrowboats, and also on loan was Ada the Canal Adventure Project's wide beam boat which was used by the children to do various crafts on during the day. There was also non-stop music all day from a brass band to boy groups and also the up and coming band Watchtower, that was the runners up in the national final of the ‘Battle of the Bands' and for those that wanted more traditional music there was plenty of that inside the clubhouse.
