THERE is an event scheduled for August to support the Fund Britain’s Waterways campaign.
The event will be at the Birmingham Mailbox on Sunday 13th.
The steering group representing various boating associations is organising the campaign and will take the shape of a 'campaign cruise' to Birmingham on the weekend of 12/13 August, but a formal notice is being delayed awaiting any DEFRA announcement on the Canal & River Trust grant settlement.
Early notice
Early notice is being given to give boaters notification to help them plan their cruising.
Though plans have yet to be finalised boats will gather on Saturday at various locations on the Birmingham navigations near to the Mailbox and progress there early on Sunday.
There will be no entry charge for boats, but an application has to be completed.
