At least 12 rowing clubs existed before 1881 By 1899 there were still 39 active clubs, of which 20 were amateur, and 19 tradesmen’s clubs. There were winter processional races & Summer Regattas. Radleys Boat house, Lea Bridge Spring Hill has always been an important location for rowing and from the 1880s onwards it housed Verdon’s boathouse (pleasure boats) & Tyrrell’s boathouse (sport rowing). It is now home to the Lea Rowing Club, formed in 1980 through an amalgamation of the last five clubs using the Spring Hill site.

We’re now in our 24th edition and you’ll see that the guide has grown, to give comprehensive detail on all aspects of inland waterway boating. In the first guide there was mention of the ‘Certificate of Compliance’, a check by surveyors to confirm the boat was built to the required standards, which was just the start of increased regulation and build requirements. is Certificate is now the Boat Safety Scheme’s BSS Certificate and the late 1990s saw the introduction of the Recreational Craft Directive, setting minimum requirements for new craft. is Directive is now in its third form and encompasses changes to existing craft as well as new. ese important requirements assist you, as a boat buyer and owner, in providing confidence that your boat meets minimum safety levels.

  • Boat Owners' Views 2019
    Boat Owners’ Views 2019: Reputation survey July 2019 Contents 1. Summary 2. Approach 3. Sample characteristics 4. KPIs 5. Overall upkeep 6. Customer service 7. Perceptions of the Trust Summary Summary The findings show a decline in boater satisfaction, perception of overall upkeep of the waterways and boaters likely to advocate for the Trust. The KPI of overall satisfaction has dropped to 61% (from 70% in 2018). Analysis of the free text comments suggests these issues which may explain the drop in boater satisfaction; • Implementation of the boat licence review findings, including reduction of the prompt payment discount (from 10% to 5% from April 19) and introduction of the wide beam surcharge (satisfaction amongst wide beam boaters is well below other boater groups). • The perception that the Trust is moving away from boating towards wellbeing. Frequent comments refer to the repositioning of the Trust and indicate that many boaters don’t understand the reason why the Trust has repositioned it’s focus. • Concern that the Trust is not investing in planned maintenance Unplanned stoppages and failed assets are referenced by many as an indication that the Trust is not carrying out day to day and pro-active maintenance. Many people also point to the cost of re-branding in 2018 and comment that they feel the money involved would have been better spent on maintaining the network. The overall sample size and response group is broadly similar to last year so we do not believe that the drop in satisfaction is related to this. Approach 1. Method: An online survey, based on the reputational aspects of the previous BOV survey was the primary method of data collection.

    ! ! ! ! ! Water Ways: Becoming an itinerant boat-dweller on the canals and rivers of South East England.! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ! by ! Benjamin Oliver Leonard Bowles! ! ! ! ! ! ! Division of Anthropology! College of Business, Arts and Social Science! Brunel University! ! ! ! June 2015! ! ! ! ! ! "1 ! Abstract: This thesis draws from data collected over thirteen months of fieldwork working with “Boaters”, a boat-dwelling itinerant group on the waterways of Southern England. In the first of three parts, the thesis focusses on the individual motivations (economic, per- sonal and political) behind becoming a travelling Boater, and on how one acquires the requisite skills and knowledge to become part of a community of practice on the water- ways. Boaters on the whole do not have a sense of being an ethnically distinct group and, as such, this thesis interrogates what kind of an identity is being created or reinforced when individuals recognise themselves as Boaters. This part further deals with the specific temporal experience of boating (commonly known as “boat time”) that creates a shared experiential pattern between Boaters, and also examines the informal networks of trade, exchange and barter which enmesh Boaters in a web of reciprocal relationships. In the subsequent part, the focus of the thesis widens to take in the boating “community” as it is imagined. It asks how the concept of community is rhetorically constructed and corporately enacted on the inland waterways and identifies the creation of an emic and local concep- tion of community. In the third part, the focus widens further still in order to interrogate the troubled relationships between Boaters and sedentary populations and between Boaters and agents of the State.
