Some of you may read Canal and Riverboat and will know I write a monthly
column in the magazine . Very often , specially with egard to certain
boatbuilders I have to do  a fair bit of punch pulling . However , I`m going
to look at the state of the museums run by the Waterways Trust soon and put
my findings in the magazine .
I have my own opinions but in the interests of even handedness I`d like to
here other peoples . Initially I`m interested in , as ever ,  the way there
are vast sums of money available for designer exhibitions , new entrance
ways , cafes etc and none for the boat collections . More importantly I`d
like to know how many people agree with me that the canal museums should get
far more support from goverment given that the canal network created the
conditions for everything else that followed .
If this is too much to lumber this group with e-mail me direct if you prefer
