Hello Everyone, I am pleased to announce that this years Jam Ole Run is going ahead we are leaving Braunston marina on 16th October hopefully to the sound of the church bells. I intend to use my iphone during the week to update this post so that people wishing to come and help work locks are aware of our whereabouts. I aim to update about 5 times a day so people can find us easily If you do come out to help then feel free to say hello to me, I will probably be living in my flat cap and grey jumper all week See you soon Tom Stewart Jam Ole Run Organiser

Hi all, Its Tom here again. I would like to announce I am organising a Jam Ole Run 2010. It is going to be the 40th anniversary since the last delivery of coal to the Jam Factory in Southall so I would like to make it the biggest and best one ever. If you are interested, please don't say so on here because I haven't the time to keep checking this site, but if you could please email me on tomben@hotmail.co.uk. There is only space for around 12 - 14 boats due to the queues at locks and there will be plenty of crew needed, so get in touch, NOW!! Hope to hear from you all soon!
