Re: XMAS PADDLE ——13/12/25—WHALEY BRIDGE BASIN

I'll be at the Macclesfield Repair Cafe on the 13th Dec.

The final, and possibly deciding, Hare and Hounds is on the 14th.

9 club members plus Grace from CRT had a fun couple of hours litter picking. And, it didn't rain too hard! The canal in the middle of Macclesfield is now pristine. Thanks to everyone for your excellent help.

Re: Litter picking - Macclesfield canal - central Macc

The litter pick is GOOD TO GO on 20th September. I know Nigel is no longer free but it would be good to have a few more folks along. I'm bringing a SUP, a trug, and a stack of litter picking sticks and rubbish bags. Meet at the CRT yard off Sweettenham Street, Macclesfield at 10am. There should be ...

Re: Litter picking - Macclesfield canal - central Macc

The low water levels in the canal might be an issue. I'll let the forum know as soon as I know!

Once I've finished filling in their many forms I will be able to set a date for the event... The plan is to operate from the CRT depot on Swettenham Street, Macclesfield and pick on the ...
