Non members are welcome to attend
We hold monthly meetings at The Meeting Room, Alvechurch Boat Centre, Scarfield Wharf, B48 7SQ which is adjacent to the Weighbridge Pub. Directions
Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of every month (except July & August when we usually have an evening walk). Appropriately the meeting room is right alongside the canal and adjacent to a real ale pub. 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.
