Join the IWA Lichfield Branch for our first public meeting of the season entitled “Waterways Recovery Group in 2023 – Are we back to normal”

Our speaker will be the irrepressible Mike Palmer (Chairman of WRG) giving us an update on the latest projects and achievements of the Waterway Recovery Group.

In addition to Mike’s presentation the meeting will be attended by Sir Michael Fabricant MP for Lichfield, chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Waterways Group, patron of the Lichfield & Hatherton Canals Restoration Trust and a member of IWA Lichfield Branch.

Michael will give a short briefing on his contacts with HM Treasury, Defra, and Canal & River Trust on the latter’s funding issues.  This will be followed by an opportunity to ask questions.

This not to be missed meeting is open to all those interested in our navigable waterways and is part of IWA Lichfield Branch programme for 2023/24.

Refreshments are available at half-time.  There is an accessible toilet at the hall.
