Futre plans

June 1st 2008 Sunday	Provisional date for Open Day at the Basin. Everyone Welcome. Full details to be announced soon. Email Doug Small for details.
May 17th 2008 Saturday	A final tidy up before the open day! Email Doug Small for details.
April 19th 2008 Saturday	Another great day, even the rain held off (for most of the time). Marvellous turnout and a visit from the Maidenhead Sea Scouts. We finished the fencing around the Basin. Sowed grass seed on the newly levelled area, and cleared a lot more debris from the lock area.
March 15th 2008 Saturday	We have nearly cleared the infill from the Basin, but the rain was causing too many problems. PICTURES Half of the safety post and rail fence around the Basin has been erected.
February 16th 2008 Saturday	A successful day. The flooding has gone down although the adjacent fields are still waterlogged. We carried on clearing along the canal bed, and also attacked the stinging nettles with animal friendly weed-killer.
January 19th 2008 Saturday	Postponed...............for the usual reason........Flooding.
December 15th 2007 Saturday	Good days work in spite of the cold. The lock has started to produce a lot of stones from the chamber.
November 2007 3rd & 4th Saturday & Sunday	WRG are held their "Bonfire Bash" on the North Wilts this weekend. Thanks to their efforts and the continuing work of our own team we have made some great progress. PICTURES
October 21st 2007 SUNDAY	A very pleasant day allowed us to knock back a lot of the recent growth of stinging nettles etc..
August 4th 2007 Saturday	Open Day at the Basin. CANCELLED due to flooding. A few of us were on site all day to explain the situation to anyone turning up. There were a few and I hope we spoke to everyone. I would like to thank these visitors for their understanding, interest and donations. We also found time to remove the old barbed wire fence across the lock entrance and replace it with a "post and rail" fence. Much safer and tidier. PICTURES
July 21st 2007 Saturday	The weather defeated us for this one. It proved impossible to reach the Basin. We will endeavour to make up the lost time before the Open Day.
June 16th 2007 Saturday	We continued clearing the aqueduct and lock and then our intrepid explorers followed the drainage ditch looking for the reason for the slow run off of the water. Most of this was done before the rains came.
May 25th 2007 Friday	A quiet day as expected, but we continued clearing the site and exposing some more of the aqueduct.
April 21st 2007 Saturday	A very successful day. The aqueduct wall is looking good. A constant flow of walkers were most appreciative. PICTURES
March 17th 2007 Saturday	We spent our time tidying up the area on the top of the Aqueduct and Lock, as well as continuing with our archaeological survey. PICTURES
Feb 17th/18th 2007 Saturday/Sunday	The two day work party with WRG was very successful. The site is now very clear and work has begun on the aqueduct wall. PICTURES
January 21st 2007 Sunday	Flooded fields, overflowing river and canal and one very large tree blown over. It all went to make an interesting day. PICTURES
Dec. 27th 2006 Wednesday	Another very successful day. A very good turnout and a great deal achieved. Several walkers commented favourably and appreciated our efforts. PICTURES
