For Health & Safety and insurance reasons volunteers' training & competences records are maintained within Connect to ensure that only suitably trained or qualified volunteers use certain equipment.

If you possess a recognised qualification to operate specific machinery - e.g. chainsaws, brush cutters etc - please let me know and forward a copy of the appropriate certificate to cct-webmaster@teamconnect.org.uk.

A series of preview days has been established for visitors and people who are interested in volunteering duties at the Centre to come along and view progress so far.

Details of the dates and times appear on the Wallbridge Lock Visitor Centre Message Board.

If you would like to follow progress on the roadworks at the A46/419 junction at Merrywalks, Stroud, go to www.cotswoldcanals.com and follow the "Wallbridge webcam-live" link at the top of the page.
