Latest posting dates for Christmas
Yes, it’s just two months to Christmas and some people have already started their shopping. For anyone leaving it until the last minute then please don’t forget the latest posting dates for Christmas mail to arrive in time. We use First Class post within the UK, and the Air Mail Small Packet Service for delivery elsewhere. The full range of latest posting dates is available on the Post Office website. Please remember to allow one extra day for us to pack your items and get them to the Post Office (although we usually manage it the same day). Remember that, although we can post them promptly, after that we can only trust the Post Office to deliver on time. They usually do, but we strongly recommend ordering earlier than these latest dates to ensure delivery in time for Christmas. 
The key dates to remember (in reverse order) are:
All of our range of DVDs make excellent presents for Christmas (and birthdays) or for planning next year’s holidays and the Four Counties Ring DVDs should soon be added to that range well in time for Christmas. Posted on Saturday, 25 October 2008 at 12:47 Comments (0)

I remembered the 2008 Inland Waterways (IWA) Festival at Autherley Junction for several reasons.
One was this sign referring to the restoration of the Stratford on Avon Canal saying
"Fortunately none of us were experts, or we should have known it was impossible !"
It’s a good job much of the great restoration work on the canals is done by enthusiastic amateurs.
Let’s hope everyone working on the Droitwich Canals doesn’t know it’s impossible.
Waterway Routes are proud to announce the release of the Droitwich Canals DVD. The latest in the series of waterways DVDs.
It runs for 30 minutes and follows the route of the canals from Hanbury Junction with the Worcester & Birmingham Canal to Hawford Junction with the River Severn.
It covers the Droitwich Junction Canal, the River Salwarpe (in Droitwich) and the Droitwich Barge Canal.
Showing progress with the restoration up to September 2008 it includes the opening ceremony for the Barge Lock on 26th September 2008.
It’s similar in style to the Cotswold Canals DVD which some of you may have already seen.
Regular readers might wonder why there was no previous hint about production of this DVD and there is a simple reason – I produced it by accident.
We filmed the Stourport Ring this summer and planned to include a short section on the Droitwich Canals, which will form an alternative part of that ring when they are restored in a few years time. Later this could be replaced by a section showing the open canals.
I walked the canals two weeks ago, capturing lots of film and I did a rough edit when I got home to check I had enough material. I had too much and, after returning last week to film the opening of the Barge Lock I had enough for a full half hour, stand alone DVD – so here we are.
The DVDs, booklets, maps etc are being copied as I write this and we will be dispatching the DVDs from Monday onwards.
Now I can get back to the Four Counties DVD which has been nearly finished for a little while.
