I joined as a volunteer first and then became a member, but I would have become a member anyway as I really want to help get the canal completed in anyway I can.

We have a question for you: If you haven’t joined as a member yet - What would encourage you to join or what’s the biggest thing that holds you back? Your feedback will genuinely help us. ❓️❓️❓️ #Lichfield #UKCanals

Connect with the story behind the restoration. Get exclusive updates you won’t see anywhere else and your members’ magazine delivered straight to you. If you use Facebook, you’ll also get access to our members‑only group - a nice extra, not a requirement. lhcrt.org.uk/membership/m... #UKCanals

Our new video has just landed, with a full walkthrough of the work from Tamworth Road Narrows to Gallows Wharf and the bits in between - plus news of the culvert! #WeDigCanals #Lichfield #UKCanals youtu.be/fQWYtJeTu6Y

A film that traumatised you as a child... This may be embarrassing but I was very young!

Show our volunteers some love this Valentine’s Day. They’re out in all weathers restoring the canal - we want to give them the welfare facilities they deserve; somewhere warm, somewhere to make a hot drink, and to wash. ❤️ Please donate www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/lhcrt-welf... #WeDigCanals #Lichfield

Know someone who'd be interested?

More canal history uncovered! Our good friend Duncan Moore has shared some amazing old photos of the bridge at Muckley Corner. We don't know the date — any guesses? #Lichfield #OldPhotos #UKCanals #MemoryLane #Staffordshire

It's #VolunteersWeek - we're celebrating the incredible people who give their time to make a difference. First up, here's a blog from our Communications & Marketing Trustee, @christinehowles.bsky.social, proving you don’t need to be retired to volunteer. lhcrt.org.uk/2025/06/02/b... #WeDigCanals

Here's a message from Robbie Cumming. ⏳️ There's only one more day for you to double your impact. Your donations to our #GreenMatchFund will be doubled to unlock the Lichfield Canal. 💚 Donate before 12pm on 29 April. donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05... #UKCanals #Lichfield #Staffordshire

We're three days in! Make the most of this chance to save 2-for-1 for nature 🌿🌿‼️ The @biggive.bsky.social #GreenMatchFund doubles every donation to our appeal, but only until 29 April. Your donation = DOUBLE the difference 💚💚 donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05... #UKCanals #Staffordshire

One day to go - then your donation will be doubled. Every £1 you donate to our @biggive.bsky.social #GreenMatchFund appeal will go twice as far - to fund a vital new lock for the Lichfield Canal. 💚🌊 22-29 April: Double the difference. Double the impact. lhcrt.org.uk/donate/big-g... #UKCanals

Here's me with an important message. #UKCanals

Yesterday I was filming for the @lhcrt.org.uk Big Give appeal, watch this space. #WeDigCanals #Lichfield #Staffordshire

We had a lovely time at @sandfieldsps.bsky.social - very appropriate for #WorldWaterDay Lots of people came to talk to us, and a lot of them joined as members to support us. 👍 #Lichfield #WeDigCanals #Staffordshire

Why don't more areas have guided bus ways like this one in Cambridgeshire? Could it work in North Staffordshire?

@postcards2025.bsky.social I'd love to know the history of these cottages on Gorse Lane/Cross Lane. Presumably they were on their own for a long time.

Time for a reminder about our #UKCanals feed: If you love canals and narrowboats, like and pin our feed. And if you post photos of canals or narrowboats, ask us and we'll add you as a contributor. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Who doesn't love a sunset? 😍 This is a view of the Lichfield Canal at Borrowcop Locks Canal Park. #UKCanals #Lichfield #Staffordshire

A wonderful evening meeting old friends and people I've only known online until today.

Spring was definitely in the air for a walk along the canal at Alrewas. Technically, it's the river at this point! #UKCanals #Staffordshire

Proud to compile and design the magazine (among other things) 😄

We're so excited that @alanb246.bsky.social and @nbwakamatandoto.bsky.social will be with us at Huddlesford Heritage Gathering. We still have some spaces left for other #FloatingTraders - come and join the fun. heritagegathering.uk #UKCanals #Lichfield #Staffordshire

I took a stroll at Fradley at the weekend. One day, thanks to @lhcrt.org.uk, you'll be able to travel by boat under this bridge, and then into Lichfield and on to Brownhills. #UKCanals

Come on #Lichfield people, you know it makes sense, and it's only £1.25 a month!

I am here, and I love Bluesky, but you'll mainly find me on my other account... @lhcrt.org.uk. (Reposting because I've changed the LHCRT handle to the domain.)

Yes I am reposting a post about me, which I wrote. 😂🤣

Whoop I did it. I was so scared something would go wrong.

Hold the phone! @commscreatives.com has arrived! 🥳

A useful read if you're new to Bluesky.

I am here and I love Bluesky, but you'll mainly find me on my other account @lhcrt.bsky.social Here's a photo of the Lichfield Canal Aqueduct as compensation.

Hey #UKCanals fans! Please subscribe to Court Above The Cut on YT and vote for us in the poll. All the details are in his post (Give him a follow here too as a bonus.) 👍 #WeDigCanals

As a regular user of the M6 Toll who passes under this aqueduct often, it's interesting to see it from another angle: one day, with luck, this view will be impossible because a restored canal embankment will cover the photographer's standing point.
