It was a busy few days just gone for LNBP as we undertook our annual Dewinterising Weekend.

Our Dewinterising Weekend is where many of our members converge to our mooring at Bottom Lock in Braunston, Northamptonshire to bring Lancelot and Guinevere out of hibernation from the winter to get them ready for the new boating season ahead.

Whether it was on deck (or on the roof) or down in the gallery, our team were hard at work with cleaning inside and outside and making sure L and G were looking in prime condition and in good working order for what promises to be another busy season in prospect.

As well as making them look spick and span from the rigours of a cold few months, the weekend also involved making sure L and G were in good mechanical and running order and ensuring both boats had all the necessary equipment clean and in place to ensure our upcoming client group guests have everything they need for their trips.

In addition to the various jobs and tasks in hand, the weekend is also a good social occasion with members coming from various parts of the country both locally and from further afield. And after the events of recent years where face-to-face gatherings have been at a premium due to Covid, it was great to a few people for once in real life and not virtually on a Zoom chat camera as has been the case.

Below are a few picture taken by our Press and Media Officer Karl

A big thank you to everyone who contributed to a highly successful and productive Dewinterising Weekend.

We (and L and G) now look forward to welcoming our client group guests for the coming season, starting this very weekend.
