| Booking System |
A booking chart for the following
calendar year is circulated in agreed priority order before the
owners’ annual meeting, where the bookings for the next year are
confirmed. Each owner has a priority for that year, and moves up
a couple of places each year: after a year at the top of the
list, the owner then starts at the bottom, and after six years
the cycle begins again.
Each owner can choose two weeks (separately or as a fortnight) in the ‘high season’ (April to October inclusive), and one week in the remainder of the year. By this route, thirty-six weeks are firmly booked before the year begins. Allowing for time for winter maintenance, the remaining fourteen weeks are booked with priority in reverse order to the original chart, so having last choice originally does have its compensations. These extra bookings are confirmed on the first day of the month before the month of the booking. |
|
| Priority for school holidays |
If required, a share can be designated as a
'Special' share, which gives the owner priority on school holiday weeks, in
exchange for a small increase in the contribution to the boat syndicate
fund.
Special share owners are sent the booking chart before any other owners and can choose school holiday weeks. |

Pendeford is a well
maintained semi- trad narrow boat. The boat is operated
privately by its share owners, who are a friendly group and
share the tasks involved to provide very enjoyable and
economical holidays for all.
Pendeford is professionally maintained both annually for the main ‘winter service’ and at regular nominated times during the cruising season. (Engine services are approx. every 6 weeks and noted on the annual booking chart.) In April 2013 we moved the boat to Wigrams Turn Marina and are now in the fourth year of enjoying the multitude of cruising routes this has opened up. At the 2011 AGM it was decided to recondition the engine which was undertaken in 2012. At the same time an Axiom high performance propeller was fitted. This has significantly improved the boat handling performance as well as an estimated 10 20% improvement fuel efficiency. The stopping distance has also improved. (Handy when you meet a boat coming the other way under a bridge!). During the 2012 winter maintenance the bathroom was refitted with a full size shower (removing the bath) and a new wash hand basin. Additional shelves were also fitted for towel storage etc. Additionally new curtains were made and fitted. During 2013 new flooring has been laid throughout including hard surface flooring in both the kitchen and shower room, two new chair beds have been purchased and the dinette seating has been reupholstered in fabric to complement the curtains. The bow cushions have also had new filling. The TV system has been replaced with a 22inch TV/DVD with built in Freeview receiver. Speakers for radio and CD player have been fitted in the kitchen and bedroom. Finally Pendeford underwent a complete re-paint in early 2014, updating the colours and livery and relocating the name from the bow to the back side panels and creating a unique piece of art work which is a Pendeford ‘dovecote’ with the name Pendeford written above. The syndicate has a legal 'Pendeford Members Syndicate Agreement'. The owners are committed to continually improving Pendeford and keeping her up to date. |
