Success for 15th OwnerShips show

OwnerShips - the largest shared-ownership fleet of narrowboats on the canals - was again delighted by the success of its 15th annual winter boat show.

The show was again hosted by Braunston Marina and despite the blasts of cold winter weather, attracted some 2,000 visitors last month to view the 18 narrowboats on display.

Allen Matthews, owner of OwnerShips, reported improved sales of shares in new and existing boats. "The results are most encouraging, " he told BB.

"It will mean new orders for our narrowboat hull builders Reeves and boat fitters Milburn Boats - both based near Rugby."
