Ryde trust will be hosting a members only meeting on Saturday 17th April 2010 to discuss the future of Paddle Wheels vessel situated in Bath.
The Ryde trust has started a petition to help save the vessel from being demolished and within 14 days, 2,100 signatures were collected. The Ryde trust had been awaiting a reply from the brokers handling the sale on behalf of Island Harbour Holding LTD after an offer has been placed.
The Ryde trust have been asked to re-submit their offer for the ship, but it does mean that this time a business plan is needed to show possible options for the vessel. The vessel biggest problem is that she is ‘hemmed in’ by the mud and the silt at the harbour and the channel would have to be either blasted or dug out to get her out of the area.
Ryde trust hopes to get as much support, not just for PS Ryde vessel but also other vessels. Even more support would be welcome by signing the petition at

The meeting will take place at The Best Western Walton Park Hotel, Clevedon in Somerset at 1.30pm. Tickets are £20.00 and available through Mr Patrick Murrell.
