Sign the “Protect our Canals” Petition Now!
Published December 9, 2009 Uncategorized Leave a CommentDear All, We’re just been made aware of the link to the 10 Downing Street Website that gathers support for protection of the Canals & navigable Rivers.
I hope everyone at Pillings Lock knows about this? if not, click on the link and follow the instructions through to the end… http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/protectourcanals/
Just to let you all know, the marina office closes on 24th December 2009 at 2pm sharp, but the last booking times for Pump-Out & Diesel will be Tuesday 22nd December 2009. Pump-out and Diesel will not be available again until Tuesday 29th December 2009 – this is a gap of 7 days so please ensure you all get a pre-christmas pump-out as we will not have boatyard staff in over the holiday this year and it’s a long-ish break! Anyone stuck with a full poop-tank or empty fuel tank will either be walking to the Loo’s or buying white Diesel, Coal & Gas from a petrol station…you have been warned!!! 
We are opening the office on Wednesday 23rd December during the lead-up to Christmas and we would also appreciate you planning ahead and getting your gas, Coal, & Diesel topped up well in advance.
We must stress that the cafe staff are not able to sell Coal, Gas, Chandlery, Fuel or carry-out Pump-Outs – so please do not ask them! They will have a stock of Electricity Cards and Wash Tokens though and will be in most days over the holidays.

For Leisure Use 45ft to 60ft Narrowboats our deal to start the year is a fixed upfront payment fo £1,499.00 including VAT for 12 months moorings here at Pilling’s Lock Marina.

Our new price list for 2010 fees is available from the office now and berthing fees have dropped on all our berths so rest assured we’re working hard for the customer to get great value for the future and maintaing the high standards of facilities here at Pilling’s Lock.
Great news for all you drinkers out there…we’ve just signed a deal with “Birra Morretti” – Italy’s biggest draft beer – to have it as a guest draft beer for the next few months.
Expect a Launch Party and events very soon!
We’re very pleased to let you all know we have arranged a special New Years Eve for Pilling’s Boat-House! Tickets area available at £15.00 each from the Marina Office and we are keeping this under wraps for the next two weeks to allow Berth Holders to have a priority. Call into the office for more details!
As it’s that cold & dark time of year drawing closer, we wanted to remind you all to check your batteries in your boat and on-board appliances. Firstly for safety and general maintenance on your main battery banks as they could have had some wear and tear this summer.
But also don’t forget those small batteries in smoke detectors, gas detectors and similar. Remember that low batteries usually result in warnings and beeps that not only mean the device won’t work properly, but it could mean an uneccessary trip to your boat to stop it from beeping at your neighbours!
As some of you may know, this New Years Eve we’re planning a bit more entertainment at Pilling’s Boat House and including a new feature – the “Pilling’s Lock Boating Awards”. The evening will be a ticket only event but there will be a substanial discount for Berth Holders.
Being a completely new type of event, we’d like your views and suggestions on what we should be making awards for. Things like “Best Narrowboat”, “Best Cruiser”, ”Best Christmas Lights” would be included, but we’d like some light-hearted awards too like “Biggest Repair Bill” and ”Best New Dent”. We’d also know how you’d like to recognise a member of the local community who’s been helpful and supportive of boating in the local area.
When we’ve decided what award categories are going to be recognised, we will then have confidential voting forms available at the office for everyone to have their vote. Entries will be counted and verified before NYE and the awards given out on the night.
Web users will be glad to know that comments are now open on this feature! so go ahead and let us know what you think we should all be recognising at this event…but please be positive and constructive with your views and don’t spoil the surprise if you have someone in mind! …
