Ouse News Page 7 Branch events tend to follow a standard format, but we would welcome new ideas. We always ask at meetings and in Ouse News what members would like to do, but we hardly ever get any response. So please, even if you do not want to be on the committee, let us have your suggestions. If you feel that you would like to join the branch committee, please contact the chairman or other committee member. Peter Webb THE IWA FESTIVAL OF WATER 2021 At Perdiswell Park, Worcester, August 28/29/30th Having been cancelled in 2020 due to COVID, lock-downs and suchlike, IWA succeeded in bringing our annual festival back to life in Worcester at the end of August. We had hoped to go by boat but time defeated us – and IWA obligingly swapped our mooring booking for a camp-site spot. The festival itself kicked off on the Friday evening with a quiz for boaters and campers. We teamed up with a few other intrepid visitors. We didn’t win but had lots of laughs. Entry to the festival when it opened on Saturday was free of charge for the public and things quickly got busy. The weather was ‘sunny intervals’ as the Met Office says - even when the sun wasn’t out it wasn’t too cold. There was the usual array of stalls, displays, entertainments (especially for the youngsters!) and a generous variety of food outlets all on site for the three days.
