Thank you Editor Angela Marks 13 Six Acres, Upton-St. Leonards, Gloucester GL4 8AY Email: [email protected] The Friends’ website: www.friendsofgwm.co.uk 2 Already the first two months of 2019 have passed and the museum is preparing for an exciting season ahead. The main event of the year of course is the Tall Ships Festival held during the Spring Bank Holiday weekend of May. A busy weekend during which I hope to see the Friends helping to make it a great success. The Friends of course have events arranged throughout the season, the first is on 24th April when we have a talk about our very own Queen Boadicea II and her role in the evacuation of Dunkirk in May 1940. Recently I was invited to attend a staff meeting at the museum and came away feeling confident that plans were being made to make the museum one of Gloucester’s premier visitor attractions. Should permission be granted plans are in place to have outside seating in front of the museum entrance as somewhere for visitors to enjoy their drinks and nibbles, plus the area enhanced with a colourful display of flowers in containers. Many of you will wonder what your money has been spent on at the museum. Recently we purchased several fold up portable seating for use by visitors who are unable to stand for too long. These are strategically placed around the museum and can easily be used when watching, for example, one of the many videos on show. A while ago we donated a substantial sum of money to commission a condition survey for the narrowboat Northwich. A hull survey and an assessment of the woodwork has been completed followed by a draft conversation plan. Both surveys raised complex issues and the authenticity of some of the previous work carried out on this craft. The reports are currently being studied to ascertain what happens next with Northwich. We have asked to be kept informed on this matter. All of this is the very reason why to maintain our planned recruitment of new Friends, for the raising of more funds through membership and fund- raising. Meanwhile I look forward to meeting as many of you as I can during this forthcoming year. 3 Now that we have completed the new exhibitions, new frontage and the conversion of our River Severn barge , the museum is looking forward to playing a more active role in the life of Gloucester’s heritage and culture. To this end we have planned a series of activities and events which will take the museum forward and ensure it has a greater profile in the city. As many of you may know the Canal and River Trust is now pursuing a Wellbeing Agenda, promoting the virtues of a life better by water to a wider public. This is a great opportunity for the museum to become a much more integral part of the Trust, as visitor engagement and wellbeing is something museums have been striving for for many years. So, what have we been up to? Strategic review of heritage boats in the Canal and River Trust’s Collection The collections team have been taking a good look at the future of our boats. Great advances have been made with the location to an interior store of some of the boats which were once in the barge arm, and we are currently looking at how we can best look after the Dredger, and . The review of these boats is part of a much wider review of all the boats in the Museum’s collection. Unlocking the Severn The museum is part of an exciting project called Unlocking the Severn, a fantastic project to create fish passes and encourage public engagement with how the River Severn has changed over the years, and how these changes have affected the flora, fauna and people who live with the river. Over the next two years we will be developing a new permanent exhibition reflecting these themes and messages. I’ll keep you informed of progress. Adopt an Object The volunteer adopt an object scheme, initiated by Jill Ruiz, has proved extremely popular. We have had groups and individuals regularly coming the museum to clean an object or objects and while doing so having a chat 4 with our visitors. We very happy with this scheme and are committed to carrying on with it, so if anyone else out here would like to give it a try please contact Jill or myself. Sabrina 5 We are now using our converted River Severn Barge for Friends evening talks and we will have a series of art shows on over the summer months. These include the Gloucester Society of Artists, Gloucester Camera Club, a photographic exhibition during the Tall Ships Festival, a national, waterways inspired, photographic exhibition called ‘Flow’, and the return of the artist Eric Gaskill with his fantastic lino cuts inspired by the inland waterways. For more details contact the museum. We will also have an exhibition of models created by the Gloucester Model Boat club in the museum during the Tall Ships Festival. Museum 2nd Floor Currently we are working with our volunteers to reopen part of the 2nd Floor of the museum. We will be creating an open store and public library. We want to allow visitors access to the store to see some of the objects not currently on display. We will have small changing exhibitions where objects not seen for many years will be placed on temporary display, and provide space for more museum activities. I’ll keep you informed as the plans come to fruition later in the year. Two new members of staff Sarah Betts will be working with the marketing team to promote the museum, mainly on Social Media. Chris Voisey-Adams has been appointed as a museum assistant. We are hoping his interest in historical re-enactment will bring new life to the museum galleries. Cheers 5 A four star bore viewed at Epney on February 21st 2019 Surfers attempted to ride the wave, but all had fallen down by the time that The Anchor was passed. As the river widened the wave spread as it approached the horseshoe bend. 6 The tables indicate times for the bore in autumn 2019 7 My first visit to the National Waterways Museum at Gloucester was quite a while before it opened, in fact it was still very much a building site. I was a freelance press photographer for the local Source Newspapers, (a free newspaper for Gloucester and Cheltenham), and the editor had sent me to the Gloucester Docks to get some photographs of progress with the museum. I met Doreen Davies, (manager), who introduced me to Tony Conder, curator of the museum. Tony gave me a detailed visit of Llanthony Warehouse, from top to bottom, which I found fascinating, especially high up in the roof space. I was hooked and couldn’t wait to find out more about future plans for the museum. Indeed, when I arrived back at the museum’s temporary office at the entrance to Southgate Street, I was also fascinated to see a few members of staff sitting in front of strange machines! I asked Doreen what they were doing and was told they are working with new computers. I soon realised the power of one of these machines and decided I wanted one to store my database of negatives. I could only find one supplier of an Amstrad DOS computer in Gloucestershire, at Staverton Business Park. After purchasing one it was a very steep learning curve, sometimes working through the night. By the time the museum opened I had cracked it, although compared to today it was basic! Soon after the museum opened I met Hugh Conway-Jones who, when he discovered my computer skills, roped me into helping him on a Wednesday with keying in reams of detail about narrowboats, their trips and crews. When Hugh formed the Friends of the Museum, I soon joined and have been a member ever since. During those early days I wasn’t much of an 8 active member, I simply enjoyed receiving Llanthony Log and taking my grandson each Sunday afternoon to the museum for him to play with the water and toy boats. As I came to the end of my year as Mayor of Gloucester, I received a telephone call from the chairman of the Friends asking if I would consider taking over as Chair. To cut a long story short, I accepted, met the committee and at the AGM enrolled as the new Chairman. To be honest it was at a difficult time for many reasons, one being that British Waterways were changing into a charitable trust and wanted to take museums on board. It was a hard time for all concerned and at the end of that period I felt it was time for me to stand down as Chair. Several years later I now find myself Chairman of the Friends again.

    A Beginner's Guide to Boating on Inland Waterways

    Ti r A Beginner’s Guide To Boating On Inland Waterways Take to the water with British Waterways and the National Rivers Authority With well over 4,000 km (2,500 miles) of rivers and canals to explore, from the south west of England up to Scotland, our inland waterways offer plenty of variety for both the casual boater and the dedicated enthusiast. If you have ever experienced the pleasures of 'messing about on boats', you will know what a wealth of scenery and heritage inland waterways open up to us, and the unique perspective they provide. Boating is fun and easy. This pack is designed to help you get afloat if you are thinking about buying a boat. Amongst other useful information, it includes details of: Navigation Authorities British Waterways (BW) and the National Rivers Authority (NRA), which is to become part of the new Environment Agency for England and Wales on 1 April 1996, manage most of our navigable rivers and canals.

    C & 0 Canal Association concerned with the conservation of the natural and historical environment of the C&O Canal and the Potomac River Basin VOLUME XXXI June 1999 NUMBER2 The Level Walker Issue As we with good reason emphasize the Level Walker Program in this issue of Along the Towpath, and muster extra strength which will surely be required to support the NPS "Trash in, Trash out" policy, I remind you that it was a level walker that introduced me to the Park in 1970. At that time I was so ignorant about canal matters that I thought, when he told me about being a "level walker", that he had gotten so old and decrepit that he could no longer handle hills and mountains. Needless to say, my 30 years along the towpath since then have provided abundant iilumination and practical experience as Linda and I have picked up trash and reported on conditions along our own three mile level. And I think that there is no more basic program of support for the park than this. I know of course that there are many ways we serve, and some of them more visible and interactive than this. But the scattered, often unseen and unthanked efforts that keep the park neat and attractive from one end to the other: why there is nothing more basic than this to make the towpath attractive to potential users. And we can tell those users who we are, and what we do, and invite them to join us on the level. --Tom Perry Several Months ago, a suggestion was made that an issue of Valley and the Canal, and who are willing to "patrol" a Along the Towpath be dedicated to Level Walkers--hence this section twice a year and report on its condition and its month's theme.

    Iwa Submission on the Environment Bill – Appendix A

    IWA SUBMISSION ON THE ENVIRONMENT BILL – APPENDIX A IWA VISION FOR SUSTAINABLE PROPULSION ON THE INLAND WATERWAYS EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW 1. Recognising the UK Government’s strategy to reduce emissions from diesel and petrol engines, IWA formed its Sustainable Propulsion Group in 2019 to identify and monitor developments which will enable boats on the inland waterways to fully contribute to the Government’s stated aim of zero CO2 emissions by 2050. 2. The Group has identified a number potential solutions that it recommends should be progressed in order to ensure that boats used on the inland waterways do not get left behind in technological developments. These are outlined in more detail in this paper. 3. To ensure that the inland waterways continue to be sustainable for future generations, and continue to deliver benefits to society and the economy, IWA has concluded that national, devolved and local government should progress the following initiatives: Investment in infrastructure through the installation of 300 shore power mains connection charging sites across the connected inland waterways network. This would improve air quality by reducing the emissions from stoves for heating and engines run for charging batteries, as well as enabling a move towards more boats with electric propulsion. Working with navigation authorities, investment in a national dredging programme across the inland waterways to make propulsion more efficient. This will also have additional environmental benefits on water quality and increasing capacity for flood waters. Research and investment into the production, use and distribution of biofuels. This will be necessary to reduce the environmental impact of existing diesel engines which, given their longevity, will still be around until well after 2050.

It is probable that I have given emphasis to the erection and upkeep of the Navigational Aids, but it must be realised that this was the main requirement of the Act, to ensure that the Trustees, as a Harbour authority, disposed of their income in a manner which was calculated to benefit the navigation of the Severn Estuary. A great deal of research has been necessary and the advice and assistance given to me by the present Officers, and by others who held similar posts in the past, is greatly appreciated. Without their help the task would have been much more formidable.

Our Partnership is one of a number of local waterway partnerships created as an integral part of the governance of the new Trust. The local partnerships are an important outward looking component of the Trust structure as they aim to engage locally with people, decision makers and communities. As advisory partnerships, focusing on local vision and aspirations rather than operational matters, they generate great added value to the work of the trust as they develop and mature. My partnership members have been recruited from a diverse interest base and are drawn from all across the waterway area. We have spent a significant part of our formative year both collectively and individually, out and about across the region and increasing our knowledge about the work of the Trust in aspects such as such as volunteering, fundraising, heritage, development and enterprise.

Faulkner 43 Oaks Drive, Colchester, Essex CO3 3PS Phone 01206 767023 E-mail [email protected] ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The 44 th Annual General Meeting was held on Sunday 18 May based on St. Mary’s Church Hall, Westry, March in Cambridgeshire. The day started off with a visit to the nearby boatyard operated by Fox Narrow Boats where we were met by Paula Syred, daughter of the late Charlie Fox who had established the business in 1959. Members were given an interesting presentation of how the company had developed before looking round the marina and being able to inspect two of the current hire boats – Leisurely Fox and Silver Fox - both of which looked extremely smart. And then it was back to St. Marys where we were fortunate in being able to look round the recently restored church that had suffered an arson attack four years ago. Members then enjoyed an excellent luncheon laid on by Margaret Martin and her team before turning to the formal business of the day. 2 The Director’s Report and Accounts for the year ending 30 June 2013 were duly, approved before Alan Faulkner, David Mercer and Jeff Walters were re-elected as Directors and John Cordran was re-elected as Accounts Scrutineer. Chris Black then gave a full report about the progress on the North Walsham & Dilham Canal and the meeting concluded with a report by Chairman Roger which centred round the Environment Agency’s reduction in dredging and maintenance.
