• Photo competition reminder

  By TommyR 8th February 10

  Hey, did you know we’ve got a competition on at the moment? Hang on, ‘competition’ isn’t grand enough… a contest… No: a Great Battle Of Photographic Might!

  Hyperbole aside, If you’re aged between 16 and 25 and consider yourself a dab-hand with apertures, exposure times, high dynamic ranges and so on, or perhaps you’re a dangerously spontaneous wielder of the trusty camera-phone, get thinking along the lines of The Secret Life Of Canals And Rivers and send your entries to emma.wright@thewaterwaystrust.co.uk by March 31st 2010. Make sure you send jpegs and keep them to a maximum size of 800 pixels x 800 pixels so they fit on our screens! The best entries that we receive will be exhibited in the National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port some time later in the year.

• Final word from the Anderton Boat Lift

  By JohnB 27th January 10

  Now this is intersesting. At the Anderton Boat Lift in Cheshire. A massive great engineering structure now in full working order and one of the show piece visitor locations on the Trent and Mersey Canal. Lots of volunteering opportunities around here too – helping school visits at the Education Centre, towpath tidying – maybe even helping out in the cafeteria – something for all sorts and all ages. Come and take look or contact Lucie at the Waterway Action Squad lucie.unsworth@thewaterwaystrust.co.uk

  Standing next to two expert bloggers minutes before I have to go and give a presentation on social media – I feel humble. And ignorant!
