Hello to everyone To those of you who are interested and are able to there is another Canal spectacular happening this coming weekend 19,20 and 21st July in Birmingham. I set off this morning with my companions on the 65 year old working narrowboat Shad from Stoke Bruerne Northamptonshire on a journey of discovery it will take us three days which normally takes an hour by car or train. This was an everyday occurance for my ancestors, but to me it is a journey of discovery as the boat has no facilities on board as it is an unconverted narrow boat, as it was in it's working days. There will be a parade of working boats through the centre of the Birmingham canal system at approx 1pm everyday of the show. --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using Endymion MailMan. http://www.endymion.com/products/mailman/
