Funds for the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust will get a boost in the new year with the launch of a new 'Supporters 200 club' run by Jeff and Linda Dawes.
The subscription is £20 for a year and there will be ten draws during the year from March to December.
Money received from subscribers will be split - with half going back in prizes — and the other half going to fund W&B Canal projects.
Members and non-members and can join but applications must be in before the 14 February 2012 to be included for 2012 — and no part year subscriptions will be available.
Full details of the prizes, terms and conditions and the application form can be found on the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust website at: www.wbct.org.uk/200club
Confronted with dense grass-like floating weed they are having to look for new ways to clear the dense vegetation – the plan is to get a mini-digger to lift out the weed clumps – but for the moment the work has come to a standstill because a foul smelling film has formed on the surface of the water. Wessex Water has advised that it could be a health risk so the work has now stopped until it clears.
If you want to help with the project or to get more information about the Wilts & Berks Canal Trust go to their website at: www.wbct.org.uk
