West Vale Branch
2001 AGM Report

At the Group's AGM on Saturday 13th October a motion was passed unanimously to change the name of the Group from Wilts & Berks Canal Amenity Group to Wilts & Berks Canal Trust. The former Trust has become a Partnership and for all intents and purposes has ceased to exist. The new name will be adopted as soon as legal and bureaucratic procedures allow. Not quite so popular (but not voted on) was the announcement of a totally new logo for the renamed Trust.

Before the AGM, held at Foxham Reading Rooms, members had the opportunity to visit local canal sites and take a boat trip.

Time to turn back: there is about 1/2 a mile of restored canal here

There is nowhere to wind (turn round), so the boat has an engine at both ends

A lock being restored: lock 3 at Seven Locks
