See you all there. How "in depth" do people go with the whole boat decorations thing? I have a plan but it may be going a tad OTT... Hi Harry, have we had your entry form?

Overnight locks closures Graham On 17/04/2019 at 20:29, RLWP said: I'm in contact with them. The condensed message is 'don't panic, this is to cover Easter' Richard Although it says overnight closures Spon Lane locks appear to be simply locked out of use. That was certainly the case at mid-day today. On the subject of Atlas & Malus I bumped into one their usual Challenge crew yesterday and he was oblivious to the fact they haven’t been entered. He resolved to go and enquire so hopefully there will be movement on that front now. JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob-M Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 I was talking to the owner of a narrowboat called Charlie-B over the weekend and he told me he had entered the challenge. Perhaps he is the mystery boat in Richard's list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47401 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 CharlieB is not the mystery boat but will be entering. Just got to get the form filled in and sent off. Let's hope the weather is a good as this last weekend. ? Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

47401 Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 I always liked the class 47 North Eastern indeed . Formally D1500 - first production version of the class. They looked good in almost any livery. Nobody normally asks about the number. I believe it is at the Midland Railway Centre. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber34 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 When's the cut off date for entry? We've (finally) made the decision to turn round and head up to Brum but now concerned our protracted dithering has made us too late! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham and Jo Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 I have noticed on a Facebook group that the 8am, to 4pm restriction on Ryder's Green locks is still in place from last year but it doesn't show on the stoppages list. Does any one know if this is true? Not that I am saying we are going that way you know! Cheers Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said before this really needs a commitment from CRT that they will suspend any of these restrictions for the Fri/Sat nights of the challenge, if they are still in place then, or I can’t see that the challenge works and BCNS need to be thinking of calling it off.
