We’ll be teaming up with Canal & River Trust to help keep the tow paths tidy and litter free. We will meet Rich from Canal and River Trust at the Memory lane wharf residential parking area. Wear suitable clothing- pulling rubbish out of the water is a messy job, you may get wet and dirty. Arrive early to allow us to set sail on time.

A few tips- Park in the Moorings Residential parking area of the Matioli arena car park. Register your vehicle at reception of the arena. You will get a parking fine otherwise!
