We hold monthly meetings in the function room of the "Boat & Railway" public house at Stoke Prior at 8pm on the first Tuesday of every month (except July & August when we usually have an evening walk). Appropriately the pub is right alongside the canal. At the meetings visiting speakers give illustrated talks on a wide variety of waterway related subjects. The meetings provide an opportunity for members to relax and meet others with similar interests. Visitors are always welcome.
