Restoration FUND plans for 2010 – Restoration of the Trust’s Boats

It is now over eight years since we launched our Restoration Fund, designed to raise ‘ring fenced’ funding for specific projects of the Hereford and Gloucester Canal in both counties. Our volunteers invariably turn the money into work that is worth many times the amount of the funds raised!

 

The Herefordshire and Gloucestershire Canal Trust recognise the good work that has already been achieved on the Trust’s small heritage fleet by Caroline Jones’s team of volunteers in securing and commencing restoration on both Renton and Alder. In time they will play an important role in the restoration of our Canal and more boats will be added to this heritage fleet.

 

Over trip boat, Mister Maysey, was unable to play a full part on public occasions at Over during the past few years due to engine failure and is undergoing further work.

 

Council of Management has decided that the Trust’s boat restoration projects will be supported in 2010 by the proceeds from The Restoration Fund. This will enable further works to be undertaken in restoring Alder and Renton as well as Mister Maysey.

 

Please support this year’s Restoration Fund – this source of funding really is greatly appreciated by both the H&G CT and our volunteers! New subscribers are welcome to join at any time.
