LNBP Community Boating at Braunston

08/06/2026

🙌🫶👍🙏This week is Volunteers Week, an appropriate time and opportunity to extend our heartfelt thanks to every volunteer who gives their time, skills and enthusiasm to support LNBP Community Boating at Braunston.

Volunteers' Week runs during the first week of June every year across the UK, this year from Monday 1st to Sunday 7th June. It is an annual nationwide celebration dedicated to recognising the millions of people who generously give their time to support charities, grassroots groups, and local communities

LNBP rely on the countless hours and unwavering passion of our volunteers which enables the opportunity for community groups and organisations to enjoy the residential experiences on our boats that we continue to provide.

Although our boats are moored and trips start from Braunston in Northamptonshire, our volunteers are based in various locations across the country, not only locally and regionally but as far away as Surrey, Kent and Lancashire. It is a measure of the dedication of our team behind the scenes and what they do - whether it be maintaining our boats and skippering them on residential trips or fundraising, taking care of admin, finance and management, marketing and a whole lot more - that brings it altogether.

Quite simply, we could not achieve what we do without you.

So thank you to all our volunteers for everything you do.

And we have arrived at Friday, and the first weekend of a new month and what is set to be a busy June in prospect.

We get things underway tomorrow by welcoming a local group in Ashby Fields Scouts to our boats.

Have a great time everyone, and don't forget to post any pics and videos as and when you can and tag us in

After a brief lull from a busy bank holiday weekend just gone, today we look forward to 1st Wootton Boys Brigade joining us on Lancelot and Guinevere for another of their group residential breaks with us.

We hope you have a wonderful time everyone.

And that is that. Gates shut, doors closed and trip boats locked to wrap up the Crick Boat Show for 2026.

Thank you to everyone who visited us over the weekend and booked trip boat tickets with us. We hope you enjoyed them, and thank you to everyone who kindly donated either by cash in the buckets or by card payments. It is greatly appreciated.

Thank you also to everyone who has made enquiries with us and took time to find out more about our residential holidays and short breaks for community groups. We have met some lovely people over the course of the weekend and will be following up on all your interest in the coming week.

And last but by no means least, a huge thank you to all our LNBP team for everyone's hard work and contributions over the last few days. Once again, in whatever capacity you have been involved, you have all been immense. And our involvement at Crick simply would not happen without you. So thank you.

Look out for more post-Crick pics and vids over the coming week.
But for now, safe trips home everyone...and thank you.

Good morning everyone.

We're expecting another busy day today to round off the weekend, so if you are at the Show today and are interested in one of the boat trips, please come and see us as soon as you can when you arrive to book your tickets and time slot.

The trips are very popular and once again are expected to get booked out, so head down to the quayside and see our team at Stand Q50 to book; even if it is for later in the day.
