Thanks to the hard work of the volunteers, many canals have been reopened, while others are well on the way. Many more have not yet reached that stage - it is up to us, the volunteers, to demonstrate what can be done. We are not only doing useful work - and there is plenty left for us to do - we are also helping to convince those with the money (like the local authorities, and the National Lottery funds) that canals are worth restoring.
