Outside The Boat

Outside the Canal Museum

Protesters come in all ages.

40 boats and more than 150 people 'toughed it out' against
the driving rain for a complete blockade of the Grand Union between 11.00 and
12 noon.
Glen Peckett writes:-
Attended the protest at Stoke Bruerne yesterday, very well
attended with several working boats outside the Boat Inn as well as plenty of
pleasure boats to really make sure the canal was closed! There were lots of
banners and placards in evidence - although many were looking a bit soggy by
the end (as were the protesters).
Most importantly though it got really good coverage on
Anglia TV in the evening with several people interviewed, including Lynda
Payton (IWA Branch Chairman) and Bill Joyce, the Region Chairman.
The hard work put in by the organisers, including Lynda and
David Blagrove, really paid off. |
