A friend of mine made this film for CaRT. I thought some of you might like to see it.

Nice film - and nice to see it was made right across the system and noted the aqueducts at Stanley Ferry on the A&CN featured so prominently.

A very good video, interesting that they have a picture of the Rochdale in March 1971 before that canal was owned by Waterways.On the power station pound above lock 88 it in at 1.11 Me Thinks.

unfortunately we spent all our budget telling you how wonderfull we are, having press launches, and consultation workshops, we can't do any maintanence, sorry .

[Chop!]

Great video, thanks for the link

Yes, agreed. An excellent video. I amazed myself by the number of places I recognised as it played out. I expected it to be filmed in a fairly small area but they had taken in all sorts of different bits of canal

I don't think Spielberg was brought in to do it was he?, I don't think Pixar were drafted in to do it all by CGI where they?

 

Sadly some on here don't seem to understand how the status of CRT differs from BW and that they DO have to engage in a bit of self promotion, not only to encourage the take up of volunteering but also to drum up some income.

 

Other charities do it all the time, why should we not expect CRT to do it?

Excellent I thought.

 

Very, very much better than these things are often done.

If I were to be really picky, when they talk about minor features like bollards, but show a "modern" bollard from the 1970s, perhaps they could actually have found one that dated back to when these were truly working waterways. But if I need to hone in on something that trivial to find anything to pull them up on, I would say overall it is a damn good effort, so well done to your friend, Dave_P.

Good film.

I expect the intension is for it to be available to all sorts of organisations,schools, colleges,The WI and anyone who want to introduce others to the world of the Inland Waterways.

 

A good discussion following on with 'Friends' Application Forms at the ready of course.

 

I hope so.
