Stourbridge Weekend - The Preparations...

 
No visit to Stourbridge would be complete without a visit to the Royal Exchange,
a proper pub, with a proper bar, serving proper beer - Batham's.  Dave's favourite pub in the country!
And so to work ....
Fountains trimming back overhanging trees on the Stourbridge Arm.
CRT were working up the arm too, for a couple of days.  We later found out that Richard Parry was due to visit - which puts a dent in the argument of the whole area being overgrown.


Boat shuffling

Cleaning, painting, litter picking

Lots more cutting back of overgrowing trees,

Joe Hollingshead


Barrie Johnson & Mike Rolf lost in the undergrowth



A full day of cutting back ensured that there was plenty of room for the visiting boats - without anyone loosing chimneys from the roof!
