The new season started with an excellent social gathering of 25 members and guests attending a very enjoyable meal on board the Rutherfords restaurant a luxury canal boat named the Margaret, based at the Star Inn Lock, Stone. The Margaret caste off at 8pm on the 3rd September for a three-hour trip along the Trent and Mersey Canal, whilst the guests wined and dined, the Margaret lazily sailed along the canal. An excellent start to the 2002-2003 programme!
