Discover Lincolnshire 2012
As a part of the Discover Lincolnshire Weekend AMY HOWSON and COMRADE were open to the public.
10 March - 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
11 March - 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
At this time of year both vessels are in the midst of their winter maintenance programmes so, as a different approach, we decided to demonstrate to visitors some of the work we carry out.
It turned out to be a very productive maintenance weekend with a steady flow of visitors, our donations boxes and sales table netted the Society £100 towards the vessels running costs.
