The BCN Society have teamed up with the Funds Britain’s Waterway Campaign to jointly organise an Icicle Cruise to Walsall Town Arm over the weekend of the 20th/21st March 2026.
The cruise will follow a similar format to previous years and will allow us to belatedly celebrate the re-opening of the canal after the spill incident, and sample the new arrangements that CRT have put in place at Walsall Basin.
There is an informal plan to descend Ryders Green Locks on Friday, mooring overnight at Moorcroft Junction and then cruising to Walsall on the Saturday. A BCNS work party will attend to the moorings at Moorcroft in advance to ensure they are tidy and clear of the worst vegetation etc.
I very much hope we can assemble an impressive number of boats for this event and look forward to receiving your support.
