Hi I as Python Chairman and a trustee would like to thank everyone who has bought a brick in our appeal. At the moment the total raised has gone up to £3125, which is brilliant. I would also like to thank the numerous people who have sent me good wishes about my health problems, these have been conveyed to me via Cheshire Rose Pete (boatboss)

Thank you for your most positive comment, the colours are the British Waterway colours that were being used at the time when Python was being used as a maintenance boat for BW. When we The Canal trust aquired Python these were the colours she was in, we have just repainted her as near as possible to her original colour Pete

I was wondering if Romford or Coniston were still afloat or around Python used to pull both these as well as Fazeley, which I know is still around and in very fine condition too We are trying to add to the very limited amount of info that we currently have for Python

Can anybody give me the dates for Middlwich Festival, Northwich, Alvecote Family day sometime in August, we want to take Python this year Pete

can anyone help please

Python will be going to Stoke Bruerne, Braunston, Alvecote, Burton on Trent and Retford Gathering in September I will have application forms with me for Retford at Ellesmere at Easter on the Monday, the event at Retford is free unless you want a plaque and a beer festival is being held at The Rum Runner by Town Lock. As from beginning of March I can send applications forms out to anyone, and will also have them at the above events

Python will be there doing Braunston and National all on our way back to Chesterfield canal

On 12th September 2010 Python will travel to West Stockwith to pick up compound fencing to be erected at Shireoaks Marina. This will be the build area for New Dawn our replica Cuckoo boat. This is being built by hand no power tools are being used. Meanwhile Python after having deck boards fitted tug style work will continue on mess cabin refit Boatboss
