We've just had a brilliant invitation to help clean up the canal with British Waterways.
I know some of us have been invovled in these annual clean-ups before - but we need many more volunteers to help out this year. It is always a lovely fun-filled day - and we get to meet many more of our neighbours from up & down the canal!
Felicity McClintock from British Waterways says: Hackney’s event will cover the stretch from Leabridge Road (Princess of Wales Pub) through to the towpath opposite you on Saturday 13th March.
*********** Towpath Tidy London 1st to 14th March 2010 *****************
We are calling on volunteers to come and help us spring clean our waterways.
