    I have had the 'survey' and responded to it.

    Braunston Locks will be chained closed from 30th August. They will open at 8am and close at 5pm. CRT notice has been issued.

    New and used boat company now crane their new boats in at Dunchurch Pools. Much cheaper than using the facilities at Braunston Marina. The boat refered to today was craned in at Dunchurch but is heading for London but stopping for warranty repairs at Braunston Marina.

    Ray, could it have been Pelican?
  7. Grahamnewman
    Could i ask everyone who thinks the £20 parking charge is too high to e mail Tim to that effect. He wont listen to me! His e mail is tim@braunstonmarina.co.uk I hope the event goes ahead next year but I wont be organising it as I have had enough.

    Yes Alarum are doing a show at 8pm in the beer tent although the beer will be outside this year in a mobile bar. Tickets are £10 on the door or from the Marina Office.

    80 boats booked in so far with a few more saying they will attend. Music wont be amplified, just duos and no bands.
  11. Grahamnewman
    Wow didnt know that !!!!!!
  12. Grahamnewman
    Whats Canal and River Trust tax?
  13. Grahamnewman
    Strange you should mention that as i am in talks with a mobile bar that will be outside of the marquee if we can agree terms
  14. Grahamnewman
    Tim usually gets Jan and Warren to arrange the music and musicians Alec Tim has decided that all FMC and others boats with a Braunston connection will be invited.
  15. Grahamnewman
    Mike, i only organise the rally on Tim's instructions. Unless he see's an e mail at the office he doesnt take any notice of other comments.
  16. Grahamnewman
    Thanks for that. I have now contacted them. I'm not a rock band fan but i am told its part of the rally tradition. If enough boaters contact me at the Marina then i can have a conversation with Tim.
  17. Grahamnewman
    David its the local Camra group that have decided they cannot do it anymore sadly.
  18. Grahamnewman
    Yes its going to be 25th and 26th June. I will be writing to boaters and traders before Christmas. It is hoped President will open the rally if her new boiler is fitted in time. Just need someone to supply and run the bar as the usual team have 'retired'. If anyone knows someone who could do the bar please get them to contact me at graham@braunstonmarina.co.uk

    I speak from experience.having moored under one of these power lines on the Leicester line just outside Yelvertoft my TV, battery monitor and inverter all had strange 'occurrences ' which returned to 'normal' once i moved away. I have read various documents advising not to stand underneath or spend too much time beneath these power lines.
  20. Grahamnewman
    Me thinks CRT dont want to kill off the other canal users. No such warning for us boaters !
  21. Grahamnewman
    Move your boat away from the pylon asap. Read up on stray current from these metal structures. fishermen with carbon fibre fishing rods feel huge vibration when trying to fish beneath these power lines. Not the best place to moor under any circumstances.
  22. Grahamnewman
    I hear that watford locks are closed and could be for sometime after a sink hole appeared in the area where the gate swings open. Nothing from CRT but just a facebook message with a photo.
  23. Grahamnewman
    Ray Golden Eagle is owned by one of my staff. He bought it for its railway connections. Inside the boat are numerous fittings from the original train. It was good to see you in Braunston today.
  24. Grahamnewman
    Simon Please call in - we would be delighted to see you again.
  25. Grahamnewman
    I am waiting for the organiser to tell me if he still wants to proceed. Thanks Ray
