General Comments by vendor
|
The Narrow Escape has
been a narrow boat Coop since the 1980s. The group consists
of 12 shares, with shares becoming available to purchase
from time to time.
We keep the ongoing costs low by not using a company to
manage the boat and by not berthing it at a marina. This
does mean some extra input from the members: 3-4 meetings
per year plus two maintenance days when we gather at the
boat to work on fixing problems and making improvements.
However, these sessions are enjoyable and help in making a
co-op a friendly group to be part of.
Canal boat experience isn’t essential as there's a range of
jobs requiring different, or no particular skills. All
that's required is a willingness to get involved.
Members enjoy very low cost boating holidays with the
support of a friendly group of co-operators.
