The 2nd and 3rd of July saw the Bumble Hole Conservation Group hosting canal based activity days for local primary school children as part our celebrations.

 

Over 120 young students from local schools visited the centre each day and all children were given a chance to take part in various activities including fender making, bonnet and belt making, rug podging and painting pots and plates with traditional canal art.

 

The British Waterways heritage boat Sagitta was on hand to show the living and working conditions of Victorian times and the trip boat Electra ran short trips along the Dudley No.2 canal.

 

Although rain threatened on both days the event was a great success and enjoyed by all.
