Evening All

Who's heard of the Roving Canal Traders Association (RCTA)?

Who knows what we do?🤔

This is an introduction post to publicise us and what we do and also if you're a canal trader to encourage you to join us

So, first things first...

The RCTA is an organisation run by volunteers to help, support and promote the diverse array of Roving Traders on the canal network...
We're a friendly bunch, there to lend a helping hand to new or wannabe Traders or give advice to traders that have been trading for a few years...

The canal network has always been a place of work for many people, whether it's the fantastic fuel boats that bring us our coal, gas and diesel or the cafe boats that offer you that much needed cup of tea and Bacon roll, or the craft boat that sells that perfect gift🤗

The list of traders and what they sell is endless...from pizza boats to beer boats to sweetie boats and all kinds of art and craft boats...🥰

And that's not all we do..😱😁

We also organise floating markets, these are events held on our canals all over the canal network mainly from Easter until October...
It's a chance for you to visit lots of traders at once and enjoy the atmosphere the floating canal market creates...

For a list of canal events why not pop over to our website www.rcta.org.uk and see what's on in your area...😊

Over the coming weeks I'll be showcasing our members, letting you know what they do, where they do it to give you an opportunity to visit them...

Any questions, please feel free to ask🤗
