25th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS   

RCR is proud to be celebrating 25yrs of supporting the boating community and wants everyone to join in with our festivities. 

We will be running competitions and events throughout the year with £1000s of pounds worth of prizes up for grabs each month. Look out on social media, our website and magazines to make sure you don’t miss out.

The celebrations will culminate in an event in June, with everyone invited to join us. All proceeds will be going to our local charity,  Stafford Riverway Link – a charity working to connect the Staffs & Worcs Canal with the rivers Penk/Sow, enabling navigation onto Stafford town centre.

Boaters are invited to a free outdoor celebration on Sunday 8 June from 8am- 7pm at the site of the Stafford Riverway Link HQ (and opposite to RCR HQ), Baswich Lane, Stafford ST18 0YJ (what three words cracks.lowest.mile).
