THE next event in the Rissingtons Local History Society programme is an illustrated talk by Tony Conder on Canal Boats and Barges on Friday, February 19.
Although the days when inland waterways were used primarily for trade have passed, there remains afloat a great variety of boats that once carried cargoes.
Tony, who has worked at the National Waterways Museum at Gloucester Docks, will discuss the groups who preserve this history.
The talk takes place at the Great Rissington Club, GL54 2LP from 2.30pm. Visitors welcome £3. For more information call 01451 820233
