About the event

Every year, the Inland Waterways Association runs a major event during the summer. In 2011, it's at Shobnall Fields, Burton on Trent, on the Trent and Mersey Canal. For the first time for a long while, it will be from the Friday to the Sunday of the last weekend in July, rather than the Late Summer Bank Holiday.

Like a lot of other volunteers, we'll be there for three weeks, starting on Saturday 16th July. Our main contribution will be editing and producing the daily newsletter which is circulated to the boaters, campers and exhibitors at the Festival, starting on the Thursday before.

Note: this is an entirely personal account of our time helping to set up and run the Festival. It's not an official IWA site; please use the link above for that.

Getting ready for next year

We've just about recovered from the excitements of Beale Park, and we're starting to think about next year's event at Shobnall Fields, Burton on Trent. As part of that, I've changed the name of this blog, but not much else will happen here until we get nearer the time.

I'll mention relevant stuff over on my main blog, Living in Sanity Again, from time to time.
