Hi all and thank you for your patience while we frustratingly have had to remain silent whilst the police and the courts were still active, as we did not want to predudice the case.

The person who was found in possession of our boat has now appeared at the Crown Court in Nottingham and has at last pleaded guilty and has been given a two year suspended sentence and fined. The thief still appears to be at large and on going investigations are still taking place,

The last nearly two years have been thwarted with every conceivable frustration. We will assure you that the whole story of our boat being stolen, recovered, police enquiry, Court Case postponements will be reported in full detail on both the forum and in the Canal World Magazine if possible and I think you will all agree that it will be an intriguing and amazing read. Whilst the final chapter is hopefully being written we must ask once again for your patience.

The Forum as you know were fantastic and without you all would not have been able to endure the search for our boat alone. We cannot thank you enough for all of you who were watching for our boat, cycling tow paths, standing vigilant in the early hours guarding our boat etc. You were all Amazing.  

It has been suggested that our silence may be suspicious can we assure you we are united with our boat and no one we knew as a friend or relation had any dealings with the theft.  Be assured we will tell all as soon as we can. 

You all have been terrific thank you! Watch this space!
