The Grantham Canal Society are to hold a discovery day on Sunday 9th October at the Woolsthorpe-by-Belvoir depot situated behind the Dirty Duck PH, running from 10- 5 it will be an event to inform, inspire and involve old and new users of the canal and an opportunity to celebrate their recent win in receiving Heritage Lottery Funding to rebuild/restore some of the locks in the Belvoir area, the society is also giving opportunities to other local groups who use and are associated to the canal to give information out on the day.
Sustrans has been invited along and I have said that we (Grantham group) shall have a presence at the event with the groups gazebo and materials from Sustrans. With lots of local maps and information to hand this will give us a great opportunity to inform the visitors about Sustrans and the NCN and to hopefully inform and inspire them to use NCN 15 along the canal and nearby local routes.
I would be very grateful to hear from you asap if you could give whatever time you can on the day between 10- 5 to help man our stall at this event, no need to worry if you are new to this sort of event as there will be others on the day and you of course already know about the NCN and the benefits it brings to it's users. And whilst at the event you can also discover the other activities around such as boat trips, refreshments, heritage displays, dirty duck race, arts and crafts, games, raffles and lots lots more.
