WORK PARTY UPDATE
The work party at Eaton Ford on Saturday 18th May was rather sodden as it rained throughout.
Never the less 7 attendees got plenty done at this Luton AC owned venue.
The branch John wanted removing further up the venue proved not to be as straightforward as it appeared. It ended up in the river, only with sterling effort and determination did it end up on the bank cut up.
Some 70 yards of bank was transformed from a wilderness on the Thursday with swims cut out on Saturday.
The remaining stump was removed from the swim cut out on the Thursday.
Swims, pathways and car park were strimmed.
The locks have been changed to next seasons issue.
The next work party is at Biddenham on Sunday 2nd June starting at 9am and any members wishing to lend a hand would be most welcome.
The work will be to replace 3 platform pallets, strim, prune, mow and tidy up for the 16th.

LETS FISH THREE LOCKS 18/5/19
The Lets Fish event at the Three Locks on the Grand Union Canal was well attended with over 50 participants despite the rain with most catching at least one fish and many certificates issued.
Apologies if we miss anyone but an official report has yet to be received here in the press office but we know thanks go out to the Wellingborough coaches Pat Byrne & Bryan Dray, who kindly came down from Wellingborough, Myles, Mark and Dennis along with John Ellis and John Morris on the desk and not forgetting our bait sponsor Browns Angling in Leighton Buzzard. Much appreciated everyone!
