News and Events

We attend heritage and community events throughout the year. As well as display materials we sell a range of SCRS merchandise. Come and say hello, we will be pleased to see you. Or if you like meeting people, being out in the fresh air and making a contribution to the community environment, can you help out?

Task-Team News

We hold Task Team sessions every couple of weeks, usually on weekends, to help maintain and improve the canal corridor. Tasks may include:

Clearing paths
Cutting back vegetation
Repairing fences
Painting bridges
Uncovering historic structures

No experience is needed—just enthusiasm! Come for a full session or part of one, meet friendly people, and enjoy making a real difference outdoors.
