…take a peep…
Sorry, diary is not being updated at present, partly because we have no one to do it and partly we’re tending to favour our busy social media for alerting people to events, workparties and much, much more.

Workparty
(Scroll down for talks and events)
| Workparty volunteers meet on Monday, Friday & Saturday, plus other weekdays as required to undertake work. This is largely on the navigable section between Woolsthorpe to the A1 and increasingly at other sites along the canal.
Our construction teams work on various projects from slipway & lock building to bridge raising & culvert repairs. Thinking of helping? email: volunteer@granthamcanal.org |

Proceeds of all talks are donated to the canal society
