The SPCC convoy was hit by RoDMA's new approach. This year boats were charged 
£5.00 per boat for locking in and out plus £1.25 per foot per week for mooring. 
Still less than RoDMA's standard charges, but more than enough for a sharp 
intake of breath.

Return leg starts bright (?) and early Monday morning - locking out through 
King George V lock at 06.00!
