Some time ago I learnt that the Oricle in Reading wanted silly money from the IWA to put a publicity stand in. Having buggerd up the opportunity to make two way boating possible it appears they make no concesions to charities - at least not waterways ones
I have said I will spend the two Saturdays and Sundays before the Festval boating through the Oricle complete with banners, bunting & PA. If anyone has a day or half day to spare (or more) I think we could attract a lot of attention with a convoy. However with the turn below County Lock I think it would be wise to limit boat length to 55ft. Any takers please let me know the times you will come. I envisage meeting by the Queens Road car park (just below the trafic lights) at 10am and packing up at about 3 or 4 pm. Also please note that there is restricted headroom at Highbridge so bunting may be better tied along the handrails or no more than about 12 inches above the roof. This is especially true if anyone thinks of using the "Abbey loop" to turn round. I think I already have one taker if he is still free. Thanks Tony Brooks ------------------------ Yahoo!
