If you want to see our boats and come aboard to see the journeys they made and the loads carried together with the interior of  the Boatmens Cabins they will be on display at the following places. The crews can give you full details of the boats and their histories. Due to operational requirements the boats may vary from the ones indicated. This list is provisional as we are awaiting confirmation of some events. Events, dates, locations and boats attending may change and be added to. We will publish amended details on this page as we become aware of them. The present cut backs on Waterways funding will inevitably have a profound effect on the attendance of our boats at rallies and events. If we do not have the money to fund the modest expenses of attending events the boats cannot go.
