Hint: Where is this IWA event being held? Bonus points if you know the name of the canal, what the event was, and which year it was held.
Answer: The photo shows moorings at the end of the Staffordshire Arm of the Bridgewater Canal in Castlefield, Manchester. The Event was IWA North West Region’s Castlefield International Festival held on 1st to 3rd May 1993. The photo was by the late Ian Gall, a key figure in the organisation of many of the Association’s most successful rallies and festivals in the late 20th century. There is a plaque commemorating Ian’s contributions to the waterways nearby.
