The Buckingham Navigator – Issue 120 Autumn 2024

I’m pleased to inform you that The Buckingham Navigator – Issue 120 Autumn 2024 is now available to view or download from the newsletter page.

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

  • We enjoy our biggest, brightest and best Cosgrove Canal Festival & Craft Fair to date. Edima Inwang and Richard Dwight bring you all the news.
  • Athina Beckett is in disbelief at being deservedly recognised as one of Buckinghamshire’s Unsung Heroes.
  • We finally have a new chairman in the shape of former Inland Waterways Association chairman Paul Rodgers. Terry explains.
  • Tim Coghlan (Managing Director of Braunston Marina) takes the helm in writing about how Buckingham Canal Society came to proudly take the lead in the opening Parade of Boats with Diana the Dredger at the Braunston Historic Narrowboat Rally.
  • An ever optimistic Terry Cavender talks politics and how our Society can take advantage in a positive way to harness the changes in the political landscape.
