A big thank you to everybody who came along to the meeting on Saturday the 1st November.
Amongst the topics discussed were:
* The condition of Bona Light House and what plans BW had for it.
* Not all the navigation Buoys are lit, which can cause problems when entering Loch Dochfour.
* BW's policy of selling their canal-side properties.
* The new bridge protocols that BW is negotiating with the Highland Council.
* Lack of facilities on Loch Ness.
* A proposed ferry from Foyers to Urquhart Castle to link in with a new national cycle route, and the Association's need to be involved with this.
* Mixed experiences were expressed over transitting Fort Augustus; some good some bad.
* Reminder of BW's meeting in Fort Augustus on the 22nd November.
* Fund raising ideas were explored and ideas sought.
* Not to forget that the Blog offers a place to sell your boating bric-a -brac.
* The loss of 'Red' diesel - see http://www.britishmarine.co.uk/services/government_relations/campaigns/red_diesel.aspx for further details
