“Saturn” was rescued from dereliction and is now a popular educational facility.

Ray Buss will tell us how the mammoth restoration was undertaken and give us a picture of ‘Saturn’s’ new working life since then.

Everyone is welcome to come along to our monthly socials (there is a bar and coffee lounge). As well as listening to entertaining speakers these meetings are also a good opportunity to relax and enjoy catching up with the latest waterways issues and make new friends.

There is a bar and tea/coffee available before and during the interval. If this is your first visit to our meetings, please introduce yourselves to members of the committee who will be delighted to meet you.

Waterway underfunding

Hundreds of miles of waterways – along with their unique heritage and habitats – are currently starved of funding and rely on constant lobbying by us to safeguard their future.

Sustainable Boating

We want boating on canals and rivers to be more sustainable and – even though the current overall contribution to UK carbon emissions is very small – we want to help reduce emissions on the waterways.

Waterways Heritage at Risk

Britain’s canals and rivers are a unique, living heritage. But that heritage is at risk – from urban development, lack of protection, loss of skills and knowledge and climate change.

You can help Save Waterways Heritage.

Waterway restoration

Restoring the UK’s blue infrastructure – our inherited network of navigable canals and rivers – is good for people and places.
