LATE NOTICE - JUST IN:
The Horse Boating Society is looking for volunteers for this weekend.
http://www.horseboating.org.uk/index.htm
They are taking a traditional working boat down the Huddersfield Narrow Canal from the tunnel at Marsden, in the direction of Huddersfield.
Anyone interested in volunteering to help with the journey please contact Sue Day on 01457 834863
or by email on enquiries@horseboating.org.uk
You will need to bring lunch and drinks as due to the age of working boat Maria, there are no modern facilities.
Crew Required
A horsedrawn boat needs more crew than a motorised boat - at least 3 or 4 - so that locks can be set ahead so that the boat can glide in without having to stop and re-start. Help is needed with handling ropes and passing the line over moored boats or obstacles along the towpath such as bushes.
This could be your opportunity to get involved for a day or preferably longer. Previous experience is not necessary as some informal training can be given as you go along.
