Lady Dulcia Atkins attended the Garstang Event along with the Mayor and Mayoress of Garstang, a few Councillors and their partners. Speeches were made by Lady Atkins and the Mayor with a response from myself.

It was a very successful event, with between 40 and 50 Boats around the Tithbarn area, we filled the Basin and the Towpath. A Press photographer arrived to the delight of the boaters from which I've had a few phone Interviews, Front page Press in the Garstang Courier up to now, another with photos this week.

The Event was well supported by the Lancaster Canal Boat Club, ACE Boat Club, Lancaster Canal Trust NABO and IWA. Richard Carpenter was the main organiser for Tarlton and Garstang, Leaflets and Banners were thankfully provided by him.

Thanks to everyone for their help.
