We're nearly at the end of the year that contained the hottest ever summer (in England)! Despite the challenges that come with the heat and lack of water it's been wonderful to see so many of you out and enjoying our amazing waterways. In this edition there's a look back over the year, a message from chief executive, Richard Parry and much more besides. I'm already looking forward to keeping you up to date with all the latest boating news and events in 2019!

Welcome to the latest edition. Even though it's starting to feel more autumnal, I'm hoping you're still managing to get out on the cut. Before you do this weekend though, you may want to spare five minutes to read, and watch, Boaters' Update. You'll find a couple of videos about the effects of the hot and dry summer, the latest news, stoppages for this weekend along with some events you might like to attend and an article chronicling a day in the life of a volunteer lock keeper. Enjoy!
