I have always thought that the business units in Moorhall Road (opp Harefield Marina, beside the deep OS mooring above Widewater Lock would make a good BW HQ. Still nice and handy for BWB board members to pop in for meetings... There is still a small bit of undeveloped land on the OS below Uxbridge High Street Bridge Or why not a compact HQ in the FMC / Goldbergs Wharf beside Uxbridge Boat Centre? -- Neil Arlidge - NB Earnest Follow the traveled TNC at : http://www.tuesdaynightclub.co.uk Visit this site and help save our waterways http://www.savethewaterways.org.uk/ Yahoo!
