I took some photos and then spotted that it is a thing organised by the canals people (as opposed to a thing done in a more anarchic way to make a point).

Bah. Pseudo-bombing.
Noticed new canals twitter account being active. Not particularly forthcoming in response to my queries about the path at Harrison park. One of those accounts that tweets out, but doesn't like answering back.
They've got a plan for new moorings at Polwarth by the church too. Big question is will they push the canoe club out as well...

I've heard rumblings recently about the canoe club. Something along the lines of them only having use of half the building length wise as the other half belongs to one of the local houses. Then the wall collapsed or something.

@SRD may have a link to share that shows how the canoe club heavily responsible for canal regeneration? Then struggling to establish their boat house. If I was them I would be peeved.
