The Bar in the Cabin is now OPEN on SaturdaysSee the drinks available here
We are following current government guidelines From Sunday, 1st August 2021, the Teaspot in the Cabin will be available for use. However, we must remind you that, despite the lifting of restrictions, Covid-19 is still very much with us. We have been very "lucky" thus far in protecting those who are vulnerable in the Basin community, but that luck has been very much accompanied by diligence. With this in mind we would ask that you adhere to the notices posted:- HANDS FACE SPACE RESPONSIBILITY for the safe use of the Teaspot MUST rest with those using it. HANDS - should be sanitized before using any of the utensils. Please clean the area you have used before departing. Please continue to check in for Trace and Test either by the QR code or the information sheet. And last but not least ENJOY the little bit of added freedom in joining friends and colleagues for a cuppa. West Midlands Police |
These are the latest crewing requirements with A&M, including DofE Residential dates which are subject to change depending on the number of bookings taken.:-
If you are interested in helping to crew Atlas and Malus or maybe becoming a ' boat sitter ' and explaining about the life on board a working boat and how the boatman's cabin could accommodate a family
then how about spending a couple of hours on the dates that request a " sitter ". There is a document available to help with the explanation and layout. |
