The Buckingham Navigator – Issue 113 Autumn 2022

We are pleased to inform you that The Buckingham Navigator – Issue 113 Autumn 2022 is now available to view or download from the newsletter page.

As well as our regular features, this issue also includes:

• Terry Cavender reveals how external volunteer groups are back in force, making a big difference across all the sites with maintenance tasks, whilst enabling us to make good progress on projects such as the recently exposed Heritage Landing Stage in Section 1.
• Art by the Canal is just one of the many fantastic events we have been involved in this year, and with more on the cards, we will certainly be busy in the community, as Becky Hall explains.
• Author Alison Leighton gives a fascinating brief insight into the history of Stony Stratford’s Hayes Boatyard.
• Becky Hall brings us a full review of our first Cosgrove Canal Festival & Craft Fair to take place for three years.
• In the lull between the winter storms and the blistering summer heatwave, Bourton Meadow’s green corridor provided a spectacle of wildlife on all fronts, especially with the Dragonflies & Damselflies. I break it down in the Summer Wildlife report.
