THE Kennet & Avon Trust is to take over the operation of the four boats presently operated by the Bruce Trust for holidays and trips on the waterway.
The Trust has agreed with the Bruce Trust that it will take on management and bookings of the four Bruce boats from its Devizes headquarters for the 2016 season, and the boats operating from Great Bedwyn, where the volunteers currently looking after them will become the Bruce Branch of the K&A Canal Trust.
Offering holidays
The Bruce Trust was created in 1988 by Louise and David Bruce, offering disabled, disadvantaged or elderly people the opportunity to enjoy self-steer, self-catering holidays, cruising on the Kennet & Avon Canal, eventually operating four boats from various locations. The picture shows Amesbury Day Trip boat in July this year.
From January of next year the Kennet & Avon Trust will take over the complete operation of the four boats, but from Great Bedwyn, still providing the holidays for the people, their families, friends and carers.
