May 2025 Endeavour

Endeavour Northampton Branch Newsletter — May 2025 FAREWELL RICHARD! In May, Richard Parry made his sixth and final visit to the Northampton Arm to view the resurfaced towpath that our volunteers, and staff from Cummins, supported by local CRT staff, have been working on for several years. Richard’s first visit to see us was for the unveiling of a mosaic plaque on the sanitary station at Gayton Junction to commemorate the 200th birthday of the Arm. Over the years, he has visited to unveil a mosaic bench, two largescale murals and the mosaic nature trail. During his visit this time, he congratulated the Branch on all its hard work and dedication since adopting the Arm in 2013 and on bringing in much needed grant funding from Cummins Power Systems. Good luck Richard for whatever “endeavours” the future holds for you! (Richard’s speech can be watched on our Facebook page). waterways.org.uk/northampton Printed by Colour Image.
