LANDLUBBERS are invited to join a boaters' gathering to celebrate the bicentenary of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in Whittle-le-Woods.
A weekend of events on May 31 and June 1 is being organised by the Lancashire and Cumbria branch of the Inland Waterways Association and Whittle-le-Woods parish council
Boaters who attend will receive a brass plaque and everyone can enjoy organised walks along the old section of the canal, a display by morris men, a brass band and an exhibition.
On the Saturday evening the Day Start theatre group will present Another Fine Day, a tale of disaster and reconstruction on the canal, at St Chad's social centre.
From 12.30pm on Sunday the Leeds and Liverpool shortboat Kennet, a retired workboat on the canal, will be open to the public.
Tickets for the performance of Another Fine Day are available on 01257 262719 or 01257 264180.
