Hosting a Canal Camp in 2018
Waterway Recovery Group is now looking for waterway restoration projects that would benefit from a Canal Camp(s) in 2018.
The first stage of the process invites canal societies, trusts and waterways groups to express their interest in hosting a Canal Camp. We appreciate that many of the details depend on funding and many other variables, so we understand if a definite proposal cannot be made. However, we would like to hear from you if you would like to be considered for a Canal Camp at this stage.
We would also be pleased to discuss possibilities with you; please contact me directly, details below, as soon as possible so that we can arrange a site visit.
In order to arrange site visits for any potential sites WRG need final submissions for Canal Camps by the 13th September 2017.
To help us get a better picture of the proposed work please include (if possible):
- A description of the work
- Any plans, details of permissions and funding
- Any photos of the site
- Details of potential accommodation for the WRG volunteers
The WRG Board will plan the Canal Camps Schedule for 2018 on the 4th November 2017.

If you have further questions, please call 01494 783 453 ext 604 or email Jenny Black.
| In addition to Canal Camps, we also have several regional groups who may be interested in holding weekend working parties to help your project. Such requests can be submitted throughout the year, either direct to the groups concerned or via Head Office, where I can circulate any requests. Most of the regional groups plan their work schedule some way in advance, so it is best to ask early. |
