Gearing up for #RosesandThorns: celebrating a century of women born to the boats or drawn to the boats. With @NB_MorningMist @heatherwastie & @perriwillow #Historicboatrally @Braunstonmarina @CanalRiverTrust #Braunston #Daventry #waterways #GrandUnion https://t.co/qhzylDzJTY

@jenniwaugh provided so much more than an evaluation - advice, guidance and much wisdom came too. We couldn't have done it without you.

[Jenni Waugh @jenniwaugh]

@the_pirate_cat @ladylynncarter I've evaluated canal heritage projects for the amazing @AlarumProd and came close with a WW1 parish home front project (the parish is bounded on 2 sides by the Severn and had a busy quay) but not had a proper chance to delve!

[Alarum Productions @AlarumProd]

@NB_MorningMist enticed some of the #Braunston1920s2020s #communitytheatre project along and they were completely bowled over, wonderful to see how inspired they were.

[Kate Saffin @NB_MorningMist]

Great evening seeing #TheBoyOnTheRoof @VamosTheatre @Macready_Rugby Perfect storytelling without words

[Alarum Productions @AlarumProd]

We're looking forward to it! #TitfordPumphouse is such an iconic building, the highest point on the #Birmingham #Canals. Thank you @BCNSociety for hosting and @ace_national for supporting the R&D of our lovely new show about real events a century ago.
