Trow Stuffers Anonymous

The Cotswold Canals Trust produce a quarterly magazine (The Trow) for over 5,000 members.  Four times a year they enlist volunteers to stuff the magazines into envelopes, usually in the evening at the Saul Heritage Centre.

This time they met in the morning.  The task was larger than normal as this issue was accompanied by a leaflet about the Santa Special cruises, and by an A4 letter (which had to be folded in half), and by three books of raffle tickets.

This time I took advantage of the daylight to capture a little video footage of everyone working hard.  I produced the Cotswold Canals DVD last year and I’m collecting additional material for a supplementary DVD showing recent activities.

Needless to say I spent the rest of the three hours folding, collating, stuffing etc.

It’s a shame that British Waterways charge us for parking in an almost empty car park at the Heritage Centre for activities like this.

3. The Trow stuffers are probably a little upset today (14-11-07) as they have just heard they have not been successful in their lottery funding for Stage 1b of the restoration.
