On Sunday 22nd February 2014 CRT held an Open Day at Lock 74 in Middlewich. Our society was asked to help with the marshalling and take along our display stand explaining the work of the society. There were also 2 other stalls with backup material and children’s activities.

Around 350 visitors took the opportunity to visit lock 74 (the bottom lock of the Middlewich 3) during the day.  (Photos: Roger Evans)
