Tragic news

Mike Stevens was a much loved waterway personality who can be credited with many waterway achievements. It is with a very heavy heart that I recieved an email from Will Chapman to say that Mike passed away yesterday. Mike was the web manager for the Save Our Waterways campaign and contributed to the Narrowboat World news site. As a blogger himself, Mike was instrumental in many waterways campaign ranging from restoration to museums. I had the pleasure of meeting Mike on a few occasions at SOW meetings and protests. Mike was also involved in education in one way or another all his working life and his last post before 'retirement' was with the Association of Teachers and Lecturers - one of the leading teaching unions.

My thoughts and sympathy extends to Mikes wife and family at this time.
