THIEVES swooped on the moorings by the Ash Tree pub at Rugeley on the Trent & Mersey Canal in the middle of the night breaking into 12 boats.

THE boater who can't cruise to the Liverpool Link, having been refused booking by BW, should actually think himself lucky. He has been saved a bad experience in my opinion, writes Janet Gunningham.

WITH its shortage of cash why is it that British Waterways do not claim from boaters' insurance when they damage its property?

SO THERE I was calming hauling on the centre line of the 70ft motor and butty, prior to securing the pair, when—Bang! I was knocked to the ground.

THE CON is British Waterways telling all and sundry that its property portfolio was contributing some £45 millions towards maintaining our canals—it is not.

THE latest suspect scheme from British Waterways is a radio controlled shark patrolling its canals—to point out the dangers, reveals Victor Swift.

THE Leeds & Liverpool  Canal is still closed, and the reservoirs very low.

THERE is every possibility that the Gloucester Waterways Museum will be sacrificed for the sake of Ellesmere Port and Stoke Bruerne museums.

THE police are so concerned at cycle rage on the Lagan towpath that officers on cycles are patrolling the waterway.

The one in Brian Holmes' picture is at bridge 27 on the Shropshire Union Canal near High Onn, with it clearly completely burnt out this month.
