M. Yes well done, of course your spot on col

But is CRT still looking at licence fees, I thought we’ve had the increases, some for next 2 years. im looking back, cannot find the where I might have got the info from

I thought crt had may had enough of putting up licences if they arnt, I wonder how much this review will cost us licence payers URGENT! CRT Licence Review Meeting - Monday 23rd Dec 7-8pm NBTA is to hold a meeting for all members and supporters on Monday 23rd December, 7pm-8pm, to discuss the following: Canal & River Trust (CRT) has announced a Review of Boat Licensing which will take place from January to September 2025. It looks like CRT aims to seek a change in the law to re-define 'continuous cruising' and the licensing of boats without a home mooring. From the outset it seems like a very aggressive attack on itinerant boat dwellers. In this meeting we will discuss: - CRT's outline of the review and possible implications for itinerant boaters - ⁠Do we want to challenge the premise of the review or the review process, and how? - ⁠How do we prepare for any destructive attempts by CRT to change boat licensing and legislation?

I have to say, like everyone else, I would gladly pay, as have done. just be nice to see it well spent. Not on company cars, bonuses, etc

Hi, but CRT invoices out on just length don’t they? When and how you pay Standard Renewal Price (including Surcharge*) Discounts/Charges applied Amount you will pay If you pay in full by card or direct debit before the start date of the licence using our website** £1,622.84 Online Prompt Payment (2.5%) £1,582.27 If you pay in full by card or direct debit before the start date of the licence but don’t use our website** £1,622.84 Prompt Payment (2%) £1,590.38

A big jump from last year! who would have thought it £1582 including discounts. Early payment etc 56 x 12 widebeam just wondering the cost of a 68 foot narrowboat this year? is it much cheaper?, don’t know why I’m asking, but is this increase accross the board ? and we’re at the age, where I can’t send the wife out at night no more 😂 col

Hi there please help, all I want is to switch the heater on or off I have 2 reds that go to + and A1 these are linked have a black going toA2 and a brown going to — if I just wanted a on off switch what would I need to do? what wire needs to be joined etc

Hi have a question re Heatmiser control we've had the Webasto thermotop 3 years now, the controller we’ve had 8 months or so and although we’ve read the manual, you tubed it. But you can have this temp controlled or timer controlled. and yes we have the heating on, sometimes it runs for just a hour, or as we want all day. Sometimes it runs continuelesly, somtimes 1 or 6 hours. we’ve carried on like this, because we keep playing with the thing. what we would like is to turn on leaving it on till we want to switch the heater off. anyone help us out by writing a post bit by bit giving us easy baby steps. or do other people have the same issues that us 2 oldies have. what happened to the days of a on and off button??

Having just paid the next years licence, heard on the radio, that CRT have removed all the bins. I don’t know if this is nationwide, but defo on the local news covering bucks and hearts. are they talking about the small bins for general public, or the big bins for boaters? Seems crazy to me, this rubish is going to end up stacked next to trees, or rammed in the smaller bins surely this can’t be true, what are boaters going to do with their rubish? costs licence going up on top of cut backs! col

I imagine Mr Parry, is pondering over brochures for his next company car, holiday, and new home. so out of touch. it’s going to cause a lot of hardship for all boaters especialy wide-beams what evidence are they going provide re the amount of extra revenue there going to get next year, and of course how it’s spent, wasted. pay increases all round then fellas! and new bonus rates to be discussed. col
