Does anyone know of any boater's rubbish facilities on the CRT controlled Bristol Avon?

I pay mine 1. Because it's good value, 2. It gives me the legal right to do what I do and 3. It gives me the right to a voice in the way the waterways are run. People who don't pay theirs are harming nobody but themselves. People who worry about other people's licence status are just plain sad. ....and a comment on someone's trite comment of earlier; the licence checking web page is not for CRT's benefit, it's to assuage those who exercise themselves over other people's affairs.

What is the legal basis for time limiting moorings ? ( without facilities)

This is a question for NigelMoore really but, of course, is meat for general discussion. Given your thesis about byelaws is proportionality a potential defence for Section 8 cases? Especially those where the Section 8 arises as a result of the licence being removed by CRT.

They were made in Wellington, New Zealand and went out of business in the earthquake a few years ago. There is a company selling parts but the units themselves are very rare indeed. They are not the same at all as the Mastervolt which is a conventional generator, it's based on a Sterling engine (sometimes know as an external combustion engine)

A friend is docking a boat on the slip at Underfall Yard, Bristol and is looking for someone to share (there's room for two narrow boats). It's the 8th to 13th August and will cost £376 which is the cheapest in the southwest by a fair amount. Access to Bristol dock is free if you're docking at Underfall. Send me a message if you're interested.

There's no hull earthing or 240v system at all. There's no 12v connection either. Nor is it moored near any other boats with hookup. Hence the mystery.

What is this corrosion? The pictures are before and after pressure washing so no abrasive action. The grey areas are heavily pitted clean steel, they have no coating of any kind and flash rust in 10 minutes. Sorry I don't seem to be able to access the rest of the imagea, they are in the gallery, links below; As you can see in the second set, the rust is quite lumpy, comes off easily through pressure washing. This is a boat that has never had a mains hookup or any 240V installed so seems unlikely to be galvanic corrosion through a faulty hookup.

Well, of course, how do you think we stay rich?

From the HNBC facebook group; Update on Adelaide from CRT "We are arranging for a consultant to undertake an assessment of significance on this boat but our enforcement team are anxious to lift the boat in the near future. If nobody comes forward to take on responsibility, it will be difficult to save it. I would be very grateful if you circulate among your members for anybody interested in the boat." https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=643548405730992&substory_index=0&id=452924574793377 This might be a picture;
