BCNS WORK PARTY – 9TH NOVEMBER 2024

Saturday, November 9, from 09:00 to around 17:00

A BCNS Work Party is scheduled for Saturday the 9th November 2024.

UPDATED VENUE

CRT continue to undertake work on Oldbury Locks and thus our work boat remains at Withymoor Island. On Saturday 9th we will assist our friends at Withymoor with a scrub bash and clean up of the Island. They have been very generous in accommodating us whilst the Pump House remains inaccessible (by boat) and this is a worthwhile way of showing our gratitude.

We’ll start circa 9.00pm. Please wear sensible shoes and clothes for working outdoors in November. A packed lunch would be sensible albeit the ladies at Withymoor may well lay on some sustenance for us!!
Access is via Halesowen Rd, Netherton, Dudley DY2 9PU.

The Work Party organisers, Mike Rolfe and Michael Smith-Keary would welcome any new recruits.

If you wish to attend please email Mike Rolfe at mikerolfe63@hotmail.co.uk

The original proposed outing to Smethwick will be rearranged for the 2025 Work Programme

The planned work will involve clearance work on the site of the former Smethwick Coal Chutes

Workboats will leave Titford Pumphouse at around 9:00 am and return mid-afternoon.

Please note that the site venue might change depending on the circumstances at the time, but the starting point will remain at Titford Pumphouse.
