River Canal Rescue is reminding boaters they have until 16 May to submit their short story about life on the water. It must relate to a boating experience over the past 25 years, and can be funny/dramatic etc, as long as it reflects ‘real life’ on the cut. A maximum of 700 words and three photos are required, and the winner will receive a CRT mooring licence worth £700. Second and third-placed prizes are £300 and £200 in chandlery vouchers.

Email entries to [email protected] – the top three entries will be announced at RCR’s 25th anniversary celebration event on 8 June. Find out more HERE
