Dear Readers,

Welcome to the Summer Edition of CanalsOnline Magazine. I would like to thank all of those who managed to send in an editorial piece, and would like to welcome our new contributors - Chris Leah from the Wooden Canal Boat Society, and Peter Hughes who is first and foremost an artist with a great love for our canals.

We also have a new 'Author of the Season' in Anu Aladin, whose book Paddle London is now in the shops. A very interesting and useful book for anyone into paddle-boarding or canoeing - or even walking, cycling or boating! A cracking little book.

We are always looking for the best waterside pubs to feature, so do let us know if you can recommend one. We are also looking for Roving Traders to feature, so do get in touch - especially if you have a selling platform like Etsy, Facebook, Amazon or even your own website. It is all free!

Our Spring Free Prize Draw, which offered the chance for someone to win an incredible COBB BBQ. has now closed. The winner is Jan Farrington, NB Maid of the Mist. The Summer Free Prize Draw will be featured very soon, with a different prize, so don't forget to enter - it is Free, Quick and Easy to do so, and you never know, you might be our next winner.

Remember we always appreciate your comments on any aspects of the magazine. You could even become an Active Cruiser and help us keep our waterway guides up to date. And if you have not yet joined [faceboat] do have a look - it is a great way to join in with the waterways community - we welcome photos, stories, boating tips, questions, recommendations - anything to do with the waterways. Or you could even become one of our regular contributors and write your own articles for us - just go to our Write for Us page, and get in touch... You might even become famous!

Happy Reading!

Linda
