• Waterways Ambassadors

  By AlishaM 1st April 10

  The first Waterways Ambassadors meeting kicked off on Thursday 4th March at the Merseyside Youth Association, Liverpool; and it proved to be an excellent opportunity for Waterway ambassadors to get together, hear more about the organisation with a presentation from Lucie Unsworth, Hazel Mayow and Emma Wright, and what being a Waterways Ambassador entails; we also discovered interesting things about each other, with various ‘team building’ exercises, a great laugh. More importantly however; the meeting enabled the Waterways Ambassadors to voice opinions on upcoming events throughout the summer; such as a camping canal boat, that can be used by groups of children, which gained positive feedback from the team; also discussions for possible summer activities, included in the Young People’s activity centre to occur along the waterways, resulted in ideas like zorbing, kayaking, cooking, pottery etc. Final touches were also decided on the brilliant, new advertising campaign for the Waterways Ambassadors, designed and created by our volunteer, Allen Bulger.
  All in all the meeting was a great success with exciting , new ideas for everyone to get involved in, and ended with a lovely meal and loads of laughs!
  Don’t forget! If you want to get involved with planning summer activities and a residential, join the next Waterways Ambassadors meeting on Saturday 3rd April at the National Boat Museum, Ellesmere Port at 11am, followed by the Easter Boat gathering Event, which promises to be a lively event with loads of historic canal boats joining from across the country. Hope to see you there!
