By public mooring I'm assuming you mean any part of the towing path, right? How many days does a boat need to be moored on public moorings in a year for before it attracts this charge? (For clarity this is not a question about overstaying.) A number of us are under the impression that the licence already allows us to use the cut 365 days a year. > However, my point was that the price of a mooring is set by the > market, not by the provider's costs, so changing BW's cut of the > revenue will make little difference to what boaters pay. Of course, I forgot that the market only works to increase prices ;-) Last time I looked BW owned a significant number of marinas and I'm sure you would agree that they shouldn't get away with charging people twice for the same thing (unless they are a continuous cruiser ;-) ) Anyway, what happened to us all sticking together and fighting the division of boaters into smaller groups where only some got an increase? Of does that only apply when the agenda is width based charging? Steve NB Bream
