If I am reading my planner correctly we will still be in the Bancroft Basin on 
the 25th.

Actually I am terrified of turning around in the basin with all those other 
boats in close proximity and people watching.  Any good suggestions? ...

The thought of a Mini-GIG is so much fun.  I remember reading about them the 
last time I was on the canal.  I never got to go to one.  Just got to read 
about them.  Felt as if I knew some of the people at them.

Sort of off the canal topic - The Black Country Genealogy List has had a few 
gatherings.  I tried to get them to call them GIGs as very few of them had met 
each other except on the internet.  They have been held since 1999 and have 
been called Reunions - genealogy will do that to you.  Long story short - those 
reunions are a direct result of the GIGs and Mini-GIGs held here on the canal 
list. I helped with the planning of the first one.  We even had a "virtual" 
narrowboat that we held virtual parties on.
