For the Croxley Green session you need to moor just above Croxley Lock (north of Croxley Green, just before Watford). It's about a half hour walk from there.

I might be out of date but there used to be a club at The Pump House at Watford. Does anyone know if this club is still running?

I believe there is a Sunday club at the Canal Tavern at Worksop - you will need to check in Stirrings (folk mag/website) to see if this is still going. I just tried to check on their website but it is 'down'.

Another one that is definitely still up and running is the Kiveton Park Cricket Club Folk Club. There is a canal at Kiveton but it might be at the end of a stretch of the Chesterfield. If you want to go to that one, PM me and I'll collect you from your boat to take you there. This is a thriving, excellent, well-run club, open EVERY Tuesday (yes, even when it falls on Christmas Day).

Hope this helps a bit.
