Shows & Events 2013

[NB Python]

The crew of NB Python have started making some preliminary plans for next summer's tour.

 

For those of you who are not aware NB Python is a historic work boat owned by Chesterfield Canal Trust and operated by volunteers. This year it is currently out and about on a cicuit of some of the more northerly events but next year we would like to try and take Python back south to revisit some of the areas where she spent her working years.

 

We are aware of certain events such as The Rickmansworth Festival & Canalway Cavalcade along with Braunston etc

 

What other events are there that we could schedule into the route planning, what are the dates and who are the contacts we need to apply to?

 

Are you running an event you would like Python to attend?

The organisers of the Crick show are having a show at Waltham Abbey over the August Bank holiday and it is quite possible that the IWA National will be in the South in July.

If it doesn't get canned again, there is the what is variously called the Wendover, Tring or Boxmoor event, (actually now held at Boxmoor). I think it was the combination of the Jubilee and the lock restrictions which killed it this year.

 

Of course there are the events we have just done (Stoke Bruerne & Braunston in June), or should soon be doing, (Linslade [Leighton Buzzard] in July).

 

All are generally good events, and I know Python has attended several of them in the past.

Thanks everyone for the information so far.

 

The provisional thinking is:

 

Canalway Cavalcade Little Venice 4-6 May,

Rickmansworth Festival 18/19 May,

Stoke Bruerne 7-9 June,

Braunston 21-23 June,

Linslade 27 July.

The boat is due it's BSS on 12 Aug so we will need to cut the tour a bit short next year to be back on home ground for the BSS

 

Hope to see lots of you along the route!
