Work Party Photos.....
February 2019 – 16th & 17th
Great weekend winching trees from the bed of the canal with WRG North West. The small self-seeded saplings will damage the waterproof lining if allowed to grow too big. Approximately 150 feet cleared on Saturday and another 75-100 feet on Sunday. The section on Sunday had fewer trees and more spread out, so more time and effort required to re-rig the winch. Whew!

February 2019 – 9th & 10th
The February work party made good progress on clearing more of the rubble and earth out of the channel that runs from the top overflow to the bottom basin. We can now (just about!) see daylight through the sluice hole. Also, there was a heron looking mean, moody and magnificient. Photos by Sam Kennion

November 2017 Work Party
Day 2 of November's MBBCS work party when we worked at Nob End locks and surrounding areas. We continued to tidy around the area, litter picking, putting up posters and clearning the areas ready for the Art Event on the 2nd December 2017. Although there were only 5 volunteers proress was still made.
The next Work party will take place to coincide with the Art Event at Nob End locks on the 2nd and 3rd December 2017. Any new volunteers are welcome and you can get in touch by emailing workparty@mbbcs.org.uk.

October 2017 Work Party
Day 2 of the October MBBCS work party. We continued to work on the off-side canal wall of the Bolton Arm clearing the wall and towpath. A lot of hard work from all volunteers involved and the area now looks clean and free from overgrowth.

Day 1 of the October MBBCS Work Party – Bolton Arm. We have been busy litter picking the area, fixing fencing around the locks and clearing back overgrown brambles and over-hanging branches from the off-side canal walls. We had a great turn out today with some new faces and the weather has been great.
