  Tuesday 8th July :- a cruise to the other end of magnificent Loch Katrine and lunch at Stronnachlachar. ( participants who can't pronounce the village name buy the drinks). We round off the weekend with a dinner, again probably in Aberfoyle. 

  
  

  If owners wish to continue exploring Loch Katrine are welcome to do so. If it is the wish to explore that area of Scotland boats can be left ashore or afloat at Loch Katrine. 

  
  

  Accommodation in the area can be found on 'roomfinderscotland.co.uk' and search around Aberfoyle. New for 2018 are 'Eco lodges' at Loch Katrine and motorhomes can now be parked at Trossachs pier.

  Steam on the Dock

  Saturday 12th May - Sunday 13th May

  The UK’s only inner-city steam rally will take place on 12-13th May 2018. Trains, boats, and engines of the industrial age make Albert Dock their home for a weekend of toots, whistles and fun for families and steam enthusiasts alike.

  The SBA has been invited to take part it this years Steam on the Dock Event. This is the Albert dock complex.

There is a good slipway and there will be a free camping base at Kings Dock where there will be secure car and trailer parking.

  Cruise up river on incoming tide to Wierhead with possible visit to Morwellham 'Working' Village on the way back. Possible pub lunch at the Ship Inn.

  Ian Richards will provide Calstock B&B info here (soon!) and says "Just thought I’d show you a picture of Calstock and the pontoon that the rally has exclusive use of. It's a beautiful riverside location and our parish council, who are very supportive of the event, are providing the pontoon and slipway access free of charge."

• Steam on Rutland Water

  • Start
    23 Jun 2018
  • End
    24 Jun 2018
  • Location
    Water Sports Centre, Whitwell, Oakham

  Register

   The annual Rutland Water Steam Fair is primarily a large land based steam celebration, with the usual traction engines, locomotives and fairground attractions.  Steam launches are invited to attend to provide some real steam on the water.

   

  Its location is between Stamford and Oakham in the County of Rutland.

  
  

  Steam launches are  invited to attend the Rutland Water Steam Fair, organised by the Water owners, Anglian Water.

   

  Rutland Water is a large man-made reservoir, with an area of nearly 5 sq miles and is the second largest lake in England by area.  It has an irregular U-shape with lots of attractive bays and inlets to explore. It is primarily a sailing area, motor boats are normally prohibited and even the outboard motors for the yachts must be electric/battery powered, and the Steam Fair provides a rare opportunity for our steam launches to sail on the Water.  

   

  We will be based on the north shore at the Water Sports Centre, where we can launch and berth our boats.  The land based attractions are about 1 mile away, along the circular path used by pedestrians and cyclists.  There is now a large and stable temporary pontoon at the site of the land attractions where we can moor, which makes the event attractive this year.  We shall largely be left to do our own thing. It is just proposed that we steam past the land attractions once or twice a day, making lots of noise with whistles and sirens, and that we get together for lunch, possibly also for an evening meal.  There are several access points to the Water and the one we need for the Water Sports Centre is:  Bull Brig Lane, Whitwell, Oakham, LE15 8BL.  The event takes place on the weekend of the 23 and 24 June, it should also be possible to launch on the Friday afternoon and recover on the Monday morning if preferred.

   

  This is a type 2 event – SBA organised participation in a 3^rd party's event (owner's declaration required).

    River Wey Guildford England

  Register

  Puffing a' Wey
  
  Puffing a' Wey is a joint SBA and National Trust event which brings colour and variety to the centre of Guildford in high summer. The event is highly economical, the only charges being made for the Saturday evening meal provided on site and to which SBA boaters and National Trust workers are invited.
  
  We are guests of the Trust and licence fees are waived for the weekend, for which we are very grateful but the deal is that if you are able (i.e have checked with your boat insurers) it is hoped that boats will welcome non-paying interested visitors for the occasional short puff along the river. This can be a lot of fun - rewarding in itself - and, of course, there is an attractive river to explore and nice places to moor up and eat over the weekend.
  
  Boats can arrive from 9.00 on the Friday and stay over until the Monday if desired. There is ample trailer space and camping is possible too. Dapdune is a delightful venue... Oddly rural while also slap in middle of Guildford, and the Wey is an attractive navigation a little bit reminiscent, in parts, of the Upper Thames.

  Steamboats @ Bristol Harbour Festival – it’s FREE!

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Welcome to the Steamboat element of the Bristol Harbour Festival – we look forward to seeing old hands and new faces. The format will be much the same as previous years – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

  
  

  For new comers: this means we will launch on Friday from lunchtime onwards at the Cottage Pub slip (for free), park our trailers at the top of the slip (for free) and perhaps partake of a little light refreshment at the Cottage Pub (unfortunately not free!). The Harbour Master will provide us with the services of one of his launches to tow us up to the moorings (free, of course) if you don’t feel like getting up steam. Don’t forget to collect your coal before you depart the slip (yep – free coal!). You can pop back later in the weekend to collect more if you can’t carry all you need on Friday.

  
  

  On Friday evening we will have a ‘Get Together’ meal at a local eatery (not I’m afraid free but very good value!).

  
  

  Saturday is our ‘performing’ day when we will make two or three processions around the Harbour in convoy with the local ‘celebrity’ DJ on the PA trying to educate the population of Bristol about the strange hobby of Steamboating.

  
  

  Saturday evening we will adjourn to the Bristol Society of Model and Experimental Engineers Miniature Railway site at Ashton Court for a BBQ (alas not free but ridiculously cheap – bring your own booze).

  
  

  Sunday we will depart around 10h00 for a trip through the Harbour and then out onto the River Avon for an approximately 2 hour steam to a pub for lunch, returning to the Harbour around 16h00 to either pull out and go home or back to the moorings for an extra night of partying.

  
  

  Full details will be sent so don’t worry if you haven’t fully understood my ramblings – please feel free to email me if you have any specific questions: kevin@manorfarmengineering.co.uk

  • Location
    On and around Windermere, Cumbria UK

  Windermere Week 2018

  from Saturday 4^th August to Friday 10^th August 2017
  at, on and around Windermere

  
  

  Advance notice - details to follow (and still to be worked out!)

  
  

  The Rally will take place over the week from Saturday August 4th to Friday August 10th (to fit in with accommodation many of you have already booked) - and perhaps those with limited time can be tempted to come for just the weekend.   Rally berths will be around the Ferry Nab and Windermere Marina Village locations. the format will be as last year - the 'low-key' style seemed to have suited everybody who came.

  
  

  I am still working on the details (will publish around 20th April - so keep looking here) but here is an except from last year'S programme - for new people coming (and I hope you do!) here is last year's text as a guide - and last year's prices!

  
  

  Berths for visiting boats:
  There are 30 metres of berthing space at Ferry Nab, which I hope will give space  for 5 boats (more with rafting up).   There are 12 metres of space in the Marina which will give space for 2 (maybe 3 rafting) smaller boats.

  Launching visiting boats:
  Launch at the Ferry Nab slipway £13 (in & out) – pay-as-you-go.  Slipway is open 09:00 to 21:00.

  Trailer & car parking:
  Trailers can be parked at Ferry Nab and trailer parking will be included in the berthing costs.  A car parking permit for Ferry Nab (also close to the Marina) is £8 per day or £30 for 7days – pay-as-you-go. 

  Coal:
  I will have steam coal delivered to my boathouse No 28 in the Windermere Marina.  The price tbd.  Collect the coal yourself (at a landing stage in Marina, Lat 54.3525, Long -2.9259).

  Members without boats:
  Are very, very welcome. I will sort out some clearing-house service to get you ‘allocated’ to steam on boats, probably from Ferry Nab.  Don’t be put off, do come.

  Schedule:
  Though this is still 'work in progress' 

  Saturday/ Sunday 4 & 5th
  Get to Windermere, register with the Wardens, launch, park trailers (phone me if you need a tow to your berth).  Buffet supper (needs pre-booking) in the upper room at the Boathouse Restaurant, Marina Village with cash bar, 5 mins walk from Ferry Nab.

  Saturday 4th evening - take part in the Lake District Boat Club's Boat Parade at Bowness.

  Thursday 8^th
  Opportunity to steam with SBA party on the Daniel Adamson from Ellesmere Port (sharing transport).  
  Activities on other days:

  - Steam south to Fell Foot / Swan Hotel to be in Fell Foot Café / Swan / picnic lunch as you wish. 

  - Steaming north to Wray Castle Harbour / Miller Ground / Waterhead for Tea / Barbeques / Picnics / Ice creams.

  - Evening steaming for boats with lights

  - a couple of communal evening meals, say in the Boathouse Restaurant, Windermere Golf Club

  
  

  Costs:
  It is basically pay-as-you-go – with exceptions!
  I am planning to charge a boat fee of £10-ish (for the week or part/week) and a fee for adults of £5-ish (for week or part/week); no charge for children or 1 day guests.  The fees will cover admin costs.  Any surplus will be donated to the Shamrock Trust.
  Last year's prices as a guide only:

  • ·      the meals at the Boathouse Restaurant and elsewhere (buffet around £20, dinner £25)
  • ·      the boat berths & trailer parking. This depends on how many boats come & on how many berths I need to buy.  My estimate is between £12/metre and £18/metre for the week.
  • ·      the coal (exact cost depends on the pallet transport cost, I estimate £8.50/bag.)
