Thanks Andrew. I've now added them, and no - I can't get to all of the events!!

 

I'd forgotten about the Black Country Museum do assuming it's actually going ahead. That makes a mess of my plans!

We are contemplating a "run" upto Braunston this year to join the fun and sample the atmoshpere, but mainly the ale...

quite a few possible event from late April through to mid june, shame we need to work!

 

maybe have a banterette for us cwf folks there?

[Liam]

There's also the Middlewich Boat & Folk Festival, which is usually the week before Braunston.

[Strads]

Indeed a another good weekend..

On a side note, we've got to do something to top the kitcar at Braunston this year... Ling beach? Train on Ariel? Pub with bar, bar stools and beer in the hold?

The last one. Unless I do it first

[Liam]

Nothing on Ariel unfortunately this year, now have too much on the boat in terms of fuel tank, pump etc.

 

I started off the trend, it's somebody elses turn now

[ditchcrawler]

The last one. Unless I do it first

I like the sound of that, what with the Braunston area pubs closing and we need at least two boats as competition is good for everyone, especially the punters

[FadeToScarlet]

The last one. Unless I do it first

 

You could call it the Admiral Nelson!

...but it's a town class?!

That, Mike, is a very good point.

We should have a Queen Vic.

[FadeToScarlet]

It wasn't a particularly brilliant joke, I admit. I was thinking about the original being closed, and how nice it would be to have an alternative!

 

I thoroughly like the Queen Vic suggestion! You could fit in a skittle alley, proper bar and dartboard into Victoria's hold!

And still have change from half a crown.

[Strads]

Both Victoria and Chertsey would seem to have suitable "space" assuming they dont come with undrinkable cargo..

 

be nice to get some barrels laid down..

happy to support and bring my Barstool... as a ruffer memembr of the not so smoooth barstewards association supporters club..

[mykaskin]

While token loads have been brought to rallies by boat, a decent load of booze should be brought in by boat more often to these dos - especially since they keep running out!

 

I would volunteer for this duty, but I think the security needed might be more of a problem than I could cope with! :-)

[Derek R.]

I could do a nice line in syphons . . .
