At Lot's Ait one was able to nose around the many areas of their boatbuilding and related activity. And there was more ...which I didn't manage to visit.Most important is a big thanks to the organisers and volunteer helpers.You all did Brentford proud.Many folk will be returning home very happy ... and that's a good thing.
