Chris Belton Memorial ‘Sloe Paddle’ @ Canal Centre
Sep 27 @ 2:00 AM – 2:00 AM

Chris Belton Memorial
‘Sloe Paddle’

27th September 2pm
Anne and Brian are kindly organising the above event in memorial of Chris Belton, one our late and longstanding BCCC members.  Chris was very fond of making homebrew wine, in particular sloe wine, gin etc.  He was often to be found foraging in the undergrowth for fruits of the countryside.  So Brina and Anne proposed that a ‘slow paddle’ would be a fitting memorial to Chris.
Pre- booking is essential. Let Anne and Brian know you are coming as soon as possible

The paddle will start at Colt Hill, more details once you’ve registered and depending on numbers.  Paddlers are invited to collect sloes, make sloe gin, sloe jam, sloe sauce, sloe jelly. Later in the year we will have a competition to see who has made the best use of their sloes.

Path Project @ Basingstoke Canal Canoe Club

Path Project Working Party

We have scheduled a date of Saturday16th October 2021 (after the Hare and Hounds) to construct a path extension between the bin store and the barn hard standing.  This project will be very good for winter access to the club and generally will save the grass area from damage when it is very wet.

We need (in this order):

  • You
  • Your Spade (and shovel if you have one)
  • Your wheelbarrow (if you have one).

Lunch will be provided for all those that help out.  This is certainly a job where the more people that help out the merrier.  We will be digging the path out to a depth of 200mm, barrowing the soil away and backfilling with a self-binding material variously called MOT or hogging.

You would be welcome on the day, but so we have a handle on lunch, please volunteer via email or speak to me, BIll Hansell.
