Our Midweek Working Party carries out a variety of work along the canal including clearing vegetation, brambles, fallen trees, scrub & reeds and general maintenance. Nick Houston, a Mid-Week Working Party volunteer since 2008, was hard at work on a November Wednesday when he was surprised and delighted to be joined by both his son and his grandson.
Grandson Charlie had an ‘Inset Day’ off from Rodborough School, Milford and son Jeremy used a ‘Volunteering Day’ away from Premier Miton Investors to take Charlie (already a life member) out for a day’s hard(ish) labour, clearing vegetation along the newly-acquired bridleway at Bonfire Hanger. Nick says they enjoyed it and learnt a lot. Jeremy and Charlie both enjoy kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding. Perhaps they will revisit Bonfire Hanger one day by water.
