With the more than capable assistance of the tug boat Friar Tuck, the Leicester Trader was moored at the wharf, Newark, behind good friend RIL Elsie a.k.a. (also known as) “The Barge” for our openday.

The general opinion at the end of the day’s activities is that the site is a good ‘un, and worth pursuing in the future, with visitors being attracted by our arrival through the lock and the bridge.
