Date change for NCA meeting

-

THE first meeting of the Northern Canals Associatio­n in 2022 will now take place on Sunday, April 24, not in February as had been previously announced.

Hosts Derby & Sandiacre Canal Trust has drawn up an exciting programme for the day, including speakers Jonathan Green of the Restoratio­n Hub and Bobby Cowling of Waterways World and Narrow Boat Magazines.

Chairman Ivan Cane said: “The venue will be at its newly renovated cottages at Draycott, next to the restoratio­n project of the ‘Golden Mile’, which we will be exploring in the afternoon.

“Lunch is to be provided by the new cafe facility at the cottages, which also opens in April. A great day and place for us all to meet up again. I hope that you’ll be there.”

Full details and invitation­s to attend will be sent out nearer the date. If you know of anyone else who would like to be included in the NCA’s new contact list, please encourage them to contact northern. canals2021@btinternet.com or send details on their behalf.
