SUMMARY:Bicentenary Flotilla Photography Competition for ages 25 and under
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday 18 July\, a flotilla of over thirty waterways’ vessels will navigate around Goole Docks\, emulating what happened two hundred years earlier in 1826 at the opening of the Knottingley to Goole canal and the port and town of Goole. There will be a variety of craft in the flotilla – narrow boats\, Dutch barges\, cruisers\, tugs\, launches\, commercial barges and RIBs – and we expect much waving of flags and sounding of horns to mark this historic occasion. \nThe public will be able to watch the flotilla from a number of locations around the docks and we hope that together we will create a memorable event which may never be seen again for another hundred years\, if ever. \nThe Yorkshire Waterways Heritage Society (YWHS) collects and publishes historic photographs of what took place in Goole’s canal and docks when the waterways industry was thriving. Today there is only a fraction of the traffic that once plied up and down the canal but our docks\, managed by ABP\, remain a very important part of Yorkshire’s economy. We believe that the flotilla event will one day be regarded as an important piece of the history of Goole and we need your help to record in photographs and video what you saw happening on 17 – 18 July 2026. Our objective is to collect and publish online as much material as possible so that in the future\, anyone will be able to look back at a vast collection of photographs and recordings to see who was there\, what they saw and what they heard. Imagine in fifty years’ time showing your grandchildren a reel with you and your mates waving and cheering as the flotilla goes by in Goole docks. \nPrizes \nTo make this challenge even more interesting we are going to award prizes for the very best entries submitted to YWHS. We have received donations from individuals and businesses who want to encourage Goole’s young folk to take an interest in the history of Goole\, a very special town with a very special history. Your competition entries will provide the evidence of that which we will share with the world. \nOur judges will have the unenviable task of picking the best entries and the very\, very best entry will receive the top prize of £250 of Amazon vouchers. There will also be a number of further prizes for second and third places also in Amazon vouchers. \nTips \nYour entries should have been taken on the 17 or 18 July 2026\, so we will hope to see your photographs taken while the preparations for the flotilla are taking place as well as from the day of the flotilla event. \nWe would rather not see heavily edited material.

SUMMARY:Goole Model Boat Club Open Days
DESCRIPTION:Formed in 1997\, Goole Model Boat Club occupies a site on South Dock\, Goole\, where many years ago a pond was built for the club members to exercise their fleet of impressively turned out model craft. The club meets every Saturday morning throughout the year and is opening its gates to the public as part of the Waterways Heritage weekend. Demonstrations will run throughout the weekend and there will be a small pop-up pond created for children to have a go at piloting model craft. \nHistoric Objects \nThroughout the weekend there will be the opportunity to get up close with items from the industrial history of Goole as the home of Goole Model Boat Club is also the site of Goole’s iconic No 5 Coal Hoist\, a grade II listed building\, and also one of the last surviving Tom Pudding compartment boats. The Apex light and a dolphin – not the mammal – from Goole Docks are also located there. Together these form a poignant reminder of the importance played by the movement of coal in the development of the port of Goole. While we are not allowed to access the coal hoist it is still an impressive monument to an industry that lasted over 150 years. \nBicentenary Flotilla Viewpoint \nOn the afternoon of Saturday 18 July\, between 2pm and 4pm\,  the GMBC site will be an ideal viewpoint for the Bicentenary Flotilla of vessels which will convoy around Goole Docks emulating the opening of the port in 1826. Take the opportunity to enter our photography competition. \nPop-up Exhibition – Railway on the Water \nView our collection of amazing photographs taken in 1974 by photography student Duncan Davies who spent a day onboard the tom pudding tug\, Wheldale. This portfolio captures the crew’s journey between Goole and Doncaster and their return loaded with coal. They make what was dangerous work look easy.  \nWe will also be running a video of the coal hoist operating and a former coal hoist operator will be available to answer all your questions.  \nAccess during this weekend \nThe site will be open from 10am to 6pm on Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday. \nThe site must be accessed on foot from Dutch River Side where there is roadside parking.  There is no public parking on site this weekend.  \nThere is limited wheelchair access at the site and no disabled toilet. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Bicentenary Flotilla of Vessels
DESCRIPTION:In 1826 the port and town of Goole was opened by the arrival of 50 vessels which had navigated along the length of the new Knottingley to Goole Canal arriving to much fanfare at the newly built Goole Docks. Two hundred years later\, with a nod to what happened in 1826\, a fleet of waterways craft will navigate along the canal from the Dog and Duck by Goole Marina\, through South Dock bridge\, around the docks and back again. \nThere will be an interesting mix of waterways vessels – cruisers\, Dutch barges\, narrow boats\, historic keels\, commercial barges\, tugs\, launches and fast ribs – all led by an ABP survey vessel. The flotilla will be dressed up and there is likely to be much sounding of horns to show that this is a celebration of the port’s two hundred year heritage. \nTimetable \nThe estimated timetable for the event on Saturday 18 July is: \n\n12.30pm: Assembly of flotilla in Dog and Duck area of canal by Goole Marina from where you will be able to wave them off.\n2.00pm: Flotilla sets off.\n4.00pm: Flotilla returns to Dog and Duck and disperses.\n\nViewpoints \nThe public are invited to view and photograph the flotilla as it proceeds around Goole Docks: \n\nThe assembling of the flotilla in the canal from Goole Marina and Spicers Auctioneers premises on the banks of the canal accessed via Dutch River Side.\nPublic walkways around the docks will provide good viewpoints\, particularly from the section between Lowther Bridge and Barge Dock.\nThe two road bridges on Bridge Street at West Dock and South Dock should also afford a good view of the event.\nGoole Model Boat Club site on Dutch River Side will offer a great view of the flotilla as it passes through South Dock on its outward and return journeys.\n\nPhotographic Competition \nIf you are aged under 25 years old\, you are invited to participate in our photographic competition. You’ll just need your phone. See our separate page for details and how to enter. \nYour entry must be a photo or video of the flotilla event taken on the day.
