  3. We have a traders licence My wife is a commission artist I am an RYA Instructor and we are Ccer's we have taken BW/CRT winter moorings without problems for the last 8 years. We got our email telling us that winter moorings would go on sale 1st October this year and that we were eligible as per usual! As it happens we are going into the Saltersford arm this winter so will not be taking up their kind offer.
  4. That will be me then!! Its actually Oasis Too the share boat that we used to be on The one that nearly got swept into the Pershore sluice stream on the Avon in 2007 and made the six O Clock news! Anyway great to meet Cheshire Rose and we really enjoyed the Chesterfield.

  17. Thanks for the great offer I have Pm'd Slammer with tel number so we can set things up Monday descent now very weather dependent Where on facebook Brian! Thanks for the expressions of support and offers of help from everyone it is much appreciated
  18. Well 4 weeks ago tomorrow my wife Noeline missed her footing whilst taking our Mini wire Dachshund ashore at Hopwas and fell into the canal! Unfortunately she hit the armco on the way in and broke her Femur. She came back on board last Saturday after surgery (plate inserted) and has a further 6 weeks on crutches with a leg brace on. We are wintering again in Elesmere so we started travelling on Sunday the 20th from Fazeley Mill Marina (Who were great finding me a mooring whilst Noeline was in hospital) via the Coventry, T&M, Staffs & Worcs and Shroppie knowing we needed to clear Tyrley before the stoppages. Normally Noeline steers the boat and i do the Lock wheeling! So it has been a forced introduction to single handing, luckily so far without to many problems and we will clear Tyrley with plenty of time to spare. I was wondering however if anybody would be around on Monday the 28th October, who may be able give me a hand down Audlem! As much as anything to avoid causing to many tailbacks on what i think is half term week. Any help would be gratefully accepted.
  19. We Did and so did 5 others at Elesmere the new system is a travesty a further marginalisation next year I believe CRT will offer no winter moorings at all.
