THE Worcester – Birmingham & Droitwich Canals Society teamed up with Alvechurch Village Society last Saturday, to take members on narrowboat cruises along the canal.
Three trips were arranged onboard the society’s narrowboat ‘Cecilia’ during the course of the day.
It was a tricky start to the afternoon’s proceedings as a heavy thunderstorm with plenty of lightning delayed the midday start.
However after taking shelter under the canal bridge the first cruise got underway with only a few light showers to dampen the rest of the day.
Ray Yarnell of the Village Society who had arranged the trips through the canal society, said: “Can I just thank you all for your efforts in manning the boat so
professionally, especially during the bad weather trip.
“You made our outing very enjoyable.”
The Worcester – Birmingham & Droitwich Canals Society is a registered charity and is happy to take out small groups of people (up to 12 per voyage) with prior arrangement.
