I saw this, we should be arriving there sunday/Monday I hope the pumps can recover it. were going to head off that way fill of optimism. something must of happened. it seems to have coped so far witg the restricted locking times.

that's where we squeezed in too. quite handy to watch the performances in the arena. and very close to the excelent mosi

that's a strange one that. only 5% though but still hardly a luxury.

yes, what the hot weather is doing is exposing a very leaky system.

I believe 1st Jan 1997. 7 days before my 17th birthday?

I knew army personal had certain exceptions from holding licences for some classes, I did not realise how far those exceptions went. quite interesting

1934 the test was introduced but not mandatory untill a year later. I believe and I will stand corrected if wrong that anyone driving prior to 1934 was allowed, no pun intended grand father rights to continue using the licence they had as you say just asked to have.

it just like why cyclists don't have licences etc. people need to be encouraged to go boating. making potential hirers go on a £500 helmsman course and their crew on a £100 lock training day would be devastating to the hire business and the canals in general.

it was that way but to be fair it's better and the c word does get condemned. a lot of the early trouble was believed to be down to a few people trying to disrupt the place. I hope the two can exist together. as the they offer different things. anyway to the op. I've no idea, I only have liverpool boat.

if my memory is correct they start on a Saturday and Friday from Stockton. so a weekend break would be sat to Tues. excellent hire company. nice boats and great service.

good news is the land owner took your payment and have permission for you to be there. That absolutely trumps anything any third party may say.

as far as my untrained knowledge goes I can only presume DE are relying on forming a contract with the steerer. they can't possibly form a contract with a party that is not there. As far as I can presume there is nothing in law requiring anyone to name anyone either. If I was the "owner and had a demand for payment I would suggest they take it up with the steerer, the person who allegedly broke the contract. without naming them of course. however I would not lie. unless of course there is something written in law. but they must be relying on contract law as they would in a car park. disclaimer. this is not advice.

just to follow up on TVM. this is NSL. https://www.nsl.co.uk/service-enforcement/ not heard of them in the parking world, which they seem to do. at least the EA are not in bed with DE. one wonders why Reading council don' use NSL to keep things simple and tidy

sorry the thread is going of two ways. AFAIK no there not. I am unaware how TVM follow up non payers.

that's because DE entire business model is to collect penalties, Infact that is their only income and their only job, they will not manage anything.

In that scenario DE won't write to anyone. whilst they wouldn't chase it they would hope some boaters may still pay. they are despicable chancers

is the bloke trying to push the back end out while the steerer is pushing it towards him.

bringing DE signs on LTM into the mix rather clouds the issue, as the signs clearly state the terms and conditions which include You are not permitted to move your Boat on to the Mooring (if you have a Boat) before the Mooring Period Start Date, notified to you by us. We will notify you of the Mooring Period Start Date as soon as practicable after the later date referred to in condition 1.2(a) and 1.2(b), 1.4 If for any reason you move your Boat on to the Mooring Site without our permission, or if we permit you to do so in error, notwithstanding that the conditions in condition 3 have not been met, you must remove the Boat from the Mooring Site if we give you a written notice requiring you to remove the Boat from the Mooring Site. 1.5 If you fail to remove the Boat within the period specified in the written notice given to you in accordance with condition 1.4 above, we shall be entitled to: i) remove your Boat from the Mooring Site to such place on The Trust’s Waterways as we deem appropriate, and you consent to us entering on to and/or taking control of the Boat for a temporary period to the extent necessary to carry out our rights under this condition 1.5; ii) charge you Overstay Charges which you will find: (a) at www.watersidemooring.com; or (b) on prominent notices located at the Mooring Site. You will be liable to pay Overstay Charges, in accordance with this condition 1.5, up to and including the date upon which your Boat is removed from the Mooring by you, or by us. so mooring is fine untill after the grace period given in writing. a third party cannot demand extra conditions. the reading one is quite inteesting, I would bet my house. if I had one that DE have no written authority to take moorers to court on behalf of council. they certainly can not order a contract to do something which is forbidden.

I would say the claimed £100 a day is a penalty and unenforceable. there are no signs so a contract cannot be formed. I would reply staying your reasons for not replying. ending with you find this matter closed and will not reply to anything other than court papers. show being reasonable because they will not be. I can't see all of the sign to pass further comment.

We Did the Cheshire ring last easter and one of the weeks the local kids were at school which meant it was nice and quiet for us. We have hired from kate boats and Anderson boats during schools holidays and found both to be priced well. Anderson's was 1700 for two weeks for a full size boat. They both included insurance, waivers and fuel.
