Last week, the Friends of President won the Marsh Team Volunteer Award for their efforts in operating and maintaining President and Kildare. President is registered as part of the National Historic Fleet (www.nationalhistoricships.org.uk)
The Award recognises the Friends of President efforts in undertaking regular maintenance of both boats, training of new members and most importantly their operation on canals and waterways. Through their efforts, the sight, sound and smell of a steamer with a butty in tow can still be enjoyed and appreciated.
Now in its seventh year, the Marsh Volunteer Awards recognise outstanding volunteers in the conservation or operation of historic vessels in the UK. The Marsh Volunteer Awards are supported by the Marsh Christian Trust.
