We were unable to take Uncle Mort to the gathering today but we attended by road.
Weather not too bad but recent rain had resulted in closure of the Severn so that 30 or so boats intending to attend from Tewkesbury/Upton/Worcester/Stourport were excluded. There were about 50 (mainly) nbs from the G&S canal in the docks. Speeches by the various dignatories representing . . . . . IWA, Cotswold Canals, MP, Council etc PLUS some special encouragement from Sonia Rolt. All speakers based on the holiday cruiser - Edward Elgar, with the programme welded together by Mr Mike Rowfone himself, aka Clive Field. Brief mini gig at the Fountain Inn with Mr & Mrs Edwards (nb Poundeater) and Mrs Dyke (nb Lady Toulouse) I have photos, but after John H's msg have not yet tried to submit them to photos.flicker.com as suggested by Will C.
