SUMMARY:Flotilla Of Vessels
DESCRIPTION:In 1826\, the opening of the port and town of Goole was marked by the arrival of 50 vessels\, which had navigated the length of the new Knottingley to Goole Canal\, arriving to much fanfare at the newly-built Goole Docks. \nTwo hundred years on\, in a nod to what happened in 1826\, on Saturday 18 July a fleet of vessels will navigate the canal\, making its way from the Dog and Duck area near Goole Marina\, through South Dock bridge\, around the docks and back again. \nAn interesting mix of vessels\, including cruisers\, Dutch barges\, narrow boats\, historic keels\, commercial barges\, tugs\, launches and fast ribs\, will be led by an Associated British Ports (ABP) survey vessel. The flotilla will be decorated and horns will be sounded to commemorate the port’s 200th birthday celebrations. \nThis event has been organised by Yorkshire Waterways Heritage Society as part of a programme of Waterways Heritage events taking place across the weekend. Members of the public are encouraged to view and photograph the flotilla as it makes its way around Goole Docks. \n  \nThe approximate timetable for the event is as follows: \n\n12.30pm: The flotilla will assemble in the Dog and Duck area of the canal\, close to Goole Marina\, and members of the public who gather there will be able to wave them off.\n2.00pm: Flotilla sets off.\n4.00pm: Flotilla returns to Dog and Duck before dispersing.\n\n  \nThe best vantage points from which to enjoy the flotilla include the following: \n\nThe area around Goole Marina and Spicers Auctioneers on the banks of the canal\, which can be accessed from Dutch Riverside.\nPublic walkways around the docks\, particularly the section between the Lowther Bridge and Barge Dock.\nThe two road bridges on Bridge Street at West Dock and South Dock.\nGoole Model Boat Club site on Dutch Riverside.\n\n  \nBicentenary Flotilla Photography Competition: Young people under the age of 25 are invited to take part in the Yorkshire Waterways Heritage Society’s photographic competition. All you need if your phone\, and entries must be either a photograph or video of the flotilla\, taken at the event. Further information\, click here. \n

SUMMARY:Goole Model Boat Club Open Days
DESCRIPTION:Formed in 1997\, Goole Model Boat Club occupies a site on South Dock\, Goole\, where\, many years ago\, a pond was built for club members to exercise their fleet of impressively turned out model craft. The club meets every Saturday morning throughout the year and is opening its gates to the public as part of the Waterways Heritage Festival\, which is organised by the Yorkshire Waterways Heritage Society. Demonstrations will take place throughout the weekend and a small\, pop-up pond will be created to allow children to try their hand at piloting model craft. \nHistoric Objects: Throughout the weekend\, there will be opportunities to see elements of Goole’s industrial history up close. Goole Model Boat Club’s base is also the site of the iconic No 5 Coal Hoist\, a Grade II-Listed Building\, one of the last surviving Tom Pudding compartment boats and other items that serve as a poignant reminder of the importance played by the movement of coal in the development of the town’s port. There’s no access to the coal hoist\, but it’s an impressive monument to an industry that spanned more than 150 years. \nBicentenary Flotilla Viewpoint: On the afternoon of Saturday 18 July\, between 2pm and 4pm\, Goole Model Boat Club will offer the perfect vantage point from which to view the Bicentenary Flotilla of Vessels. Don’t miss the chance to enter the Yorkshire Waterways Heritage Society and Goole Model Boat Club’s photography competition! \nPop-up Exhibition – Railway on the Water: View an amazing collection of photographs taken in 1974 by photography student Duncan Davies\, who spent a day onboard the Tom Pudding tug\, Wheldale. The portfolio that he created captures the crew’s journey between Goole and Doncaster\, and their return journey\, loaded with coal. There will also be opportunities to see a video of the coal hoist operating have your questions answered by a former coal hoist operator. \nAccess during this weekend: Goole Model Boat Club will be open from 10am to 6pm on Saturday 18 July and 10am to 4pm on Sunday 19 July. The site must be accessed on foot from Dutch River Side\, where there is roadside parking. Please note that there is no public parking on site during this event.
