AVON NAVIGATION TRUST

• 50300 - Inland passenger water transport

The Trust is governed by a board of Trustees on the Council of Management, who are all volunteers, appointed by the ordinary members of the Trust in General Meeting. The Council meets bi-monthly to decide on policy and direction, and to agree on the planned works programme... Day to day operation of the navigation is delegated to the Chief Executive who has a small team of administrative staff and works team, with the help and assistance of volunteers. The Chief Executive works from the Trust's offices at Mill Wharf, Wyre Piddle, near to Pershore, supported by the Office Manager and Company Secretary. The works team is made up of welders, fitters and boatmen to maintain the navigation... Reach Masters and other volunteers help the Trust with light maintenance work, manning locks on busy days, and assisting boaters. The only staffed lock on the navigation is Avon Lock at Tewkesbury, with a full-time in the season lock keeper who checks and collects licence tolls.
