Approach to the Old Lock and Weir.

The 4^th August saw the return of the Association’s social scene since lockdown, with a somewhat belated, Bristol City Docks & River Avon Cruise.  With the weather fair, some 40 + Members and their guests participating in the evening.

The cruise commenced with the party embarking at Welsh Back for the initial cruise through the “Floating Harbour” before entering first the old Netham Lock and Hanham Lock into  the River Avon. The party were greeted with a welcoming refreshment at the Riverside Venue, The Old Lock & Weir, by the Host, quickly followed by a buffet of Curry, Chilli and Burgers.

Due to the cancellation of the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers 2020 Annual Award Ceremony last October the Presentation of the Bristol Maritime Trade Award for education within the Institute, in memory of our Past President Edward Renshaw, took place using the Zoom platform on the 23rd March 2021.

With the commissioning of a new crew minibus for the Portbury Seafarers Centre, the opportunity was taken to embellish the bus with the Association Crest, being that we are a major supporter of the Centre.
