Our Speaker, Jonathan Hart-Wood of the Canal & River Trust, gave a very informative description of the Trust, which has recently changed from British Waterways to become a charity, as well as the construction of the new Fish and Eel Pass at Sprotborough weir.
This presentation was filmed and can now be viewed on YouTube. Search for Mr Sprotbrough and you should find it. It is in four parts and lasts about an hour and 20 minutes.
A question was asked at the AGM about the Archaeology of the old mill, which used to be on the fish pass site and, thanks to Archaeological Services WYAS and the Environment Agency who commissioned it, this can be found on the following link. I hope you will find it interesting:

Information boards and directional sign posts have now been erected by our Conservation Volunteers and a carving has been produced which will shortly be erected on site. We hope this will be followed by an official opening event which will be advertised in due course.
We still have spaces on the committee for anyone interested in supporting the group in this way and Minutes of meetings are published on our website.
