2023 - 12th August Gloucester canal - Division 1 National - Mick Carr , my report on a great day.

Well ! , what a great day of experience for myself helping the Loughborough match team. Shame we got relegated but i dont think the draw was not too kind . But there is always next year on the River Trent for the Division 2 National . Many thanks to the whole team for allowing me to grace your presence.



Arrival at the HQ - What a great place , its huge !
