Notice of AGM Tuesday 23rd October 2018
Author Archives: admin
Merry Christmas 2017 everyone
As in other years we support our local Parish Church by displaying out Leicester Trader themed display in their Christmas tree festival in aid of Church funds. Decorated by committee member Margaret Catley, the tree stands on a base made for us by local waterway operative Peter Smith. We look forward to next year and hope to have more open days when the weather improves. A reminder for anyone wishing to get involved either hands on, in admin, or join our decision making committee, contact Les on les.nhbarge@googlemail.com

Website Update
Please accept our apologies for not updating the website… we are a very small team with very limited time.
We will report on our year’s limited activities at the AGM, in the meantime plans are afoot to completely overhaul the Business Plan and in the process determine our strategy going forward.

12th December was an uplifting day to say the least. At pretty short notice our good friend ‘Tink’ Hutchinson tried out his new 120 ton crane.
Les Reid made sure we had a good record in pictures and videos the after meticulous preparations she was lifted about one o clock.
She will remain at the Whitehouse Wharf for a week or two then move close to the Weavers.
The committee will meet early in January to determine a strategy for internal refurbishment.
