It's been over a year since our last blog post! Now before I give you any news on Budgie and the canal boat sagas let me just make clear that the lack of blogging is in no way due to lack of action over the last year or a collapse in the popularity of our canal cruises.
Quite the contrary. The simple fact is that the boats have just been so busy which has rubbed off on the admin side of our operation - or is it the other way around?
Lets start at the beginning which is here on this bank holiday Monday. After a busy winter season with passenger figures up by 25% on last year we are finally on the cusp of welcoming the "Waterbus" service back to our canal which will start this Wednesday 5th May. Wednesday is Lune Aqueduct day on our timetable, one of our most popular cruises. For the full waterbus timetable visit our waterbus page and choose your cruise time and route.
Lots has gone on since we last updated you but the BIG news is that we are very proud to announce our "Fish & Chips Cruises" have been shortlisted for the 2010/11 "Best Tourism Experience" by the Lancashire and Blackpool Tourism Board. Now thats something to blow our horns about!!! We realise that "you" our passengers have a lot to answer for in this great achievement and it proves you have been talking us up and spreading the word about this fun, value for money evening of quality entertainment. Thanks to you all we really appreciate the support.
We are always trying to improve and streamline our product and are happy to announce that in the next 2 weeks we should be launching our online booking system to make life easier for those of you who prefer doing things online.
Budgie has had an active and hectic year, too much news to post on one blog. I have read that a blog should be short, sweet and informative. This is my first, so I will take advice from the experts and sign off for now.
Watch this space for more regular news and feedback on our season of sailing.
