AWCC - Association of Waterways Cruising Clubs
Most members will be aware of the Association of Waterways Cruising Clubs (AWCC), but for new members of our club here is a brief introduction:
The AWCC is not for actual individuals, but is an association for boat clubs and their members. It was formed in 1964 by four boating clubs in the London/Midlands area. To date there are more than 100 clubs which represent some 20,000 club members.
Mike Tucknott is the SYBC’s representative attending the AWCC regional meetings.
As with CRT being divided into regions so has the AWCC, which comprises of six regions; London, Midland, North-East, North-West, South-East, and South-West Regions.
The AWCC has become an influential boater’s lobby consulted by CRT, EA, IWAAC (Inland Waterways Amenity Advisory Council), also with district and local councils, and the DETR (Dept: Environment & Transport Regions). The Association also works closely with IWA (Inland Waterways Association), RYA (Royal Yachting Association), NABO (National Association of Boat Owners), and the BMF (British Marine Federation).
Further information can be found on the AWCC web site (http//awcc.org.uk).
All club members can automatically make use of the AWCC’s benefits, which are mainly temporary moorings, help in urgent cases when stranded away from home moorings, and assistance where-ever possible. In other words, boating clubs help stranded boating clubs as much as possible. club members.
A credit card size ID card is available for each boat if required
All boating clubs pay a small fee so there is no charge to individuals so that proof of the club is an active paid up member to the AWCC, and proof if this may be asked for by a club being visited.
If requiring a mooring, including overnights, most clubs have a no charge (except for Hook-ups), but the club must be notified of your intentions beforehand and each club may not have the same rules as SYBC. At the present time our club allows visiting boats up to 4 nights without charge plus the cost of any electric used.
There is a Handbook which will be available to view within our club premises soon but at present time it is being updated. It will list all member clubs, contacts, amenities and more.
The Handbook must not be taken from the club.
Handbooks can be obtained, if required, for a price to be announced as is also the AWCC’s Burgee which goes well next to our own SYBC Burgee.
NOTICE
As requested I have left one card for each boat, in the appropriate pigeon hole.
Many Thanks
Mike Tucknott AWCC Rep, Slipway Officer.

We currently have a limited number of vacant moorings. If you are interested in becoming a member of SYBC, please come and visit our club to speak with a committee member any weekend.

Welcome to the new SYBC website.
We have (this week) just changed and upgraded our website / hosting / email servers (the technical stuff that makes the website etc work!) and as a result, This website is currently very much under construction! - Its look and feel will be changing shortly once I change the layout / themes.
Please keep checking back often to hopefully see some more content / features added. If you have any articles / suggestions / photos / ideas which you would like to see on the website then please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. I am always looking for more content which I can use!
I am currently doing this voluntarily in my spare time alongside my fulltime job and also many other committee tasks, and therefore progress maybe a little slower than initially intended, however please bear with us - we will hopefully get there very soon!
Regards
Ian (S10)
