As I write this at the end on June Ownashare syndicates have just attended our annual representatives meeting. This meeting enables all of our syndicate to meet and exchange ideas and discuss topics raised by themselves and allows Ownashare to discuss with everyone about proposed improvements in services.

I am very encouraged by the ongoing interest in share purchases.
This year continues to be the busiest year in our companies history.
The market for share sales continues to be brisk and active and we continue to have high levels of sales.
As the summer progresses and we all enjoy our cruising I will be planning for starting the bookings for 2017 next month.
if you are considering purchasing a share, please be aware to choose your own choices of weeks next year our booking system starts in July.

Having returned from the Braunston share show last weekend time has flown by.
Symphony and Heartsease attended the event with Joe and Anne, Simon and Carey welcoming viewers onboard
Everyone worked ceaselessly all weekend showing prospective owners over the boats and answering questions and explain how shared ownership works.
We are happily welcoming many new owners to the shared boat syndicates and still have many more boat viewings in the coming weeks.

With the Spring brings the hope of summer we are currently welcoming lots of new owners to the Ownashare family of boat syndicates.
This is fast becoming the busiest spring for boat share enquries and sales of shares, this has left us with fewer shares to offer at the share show in April.
We are all looking forward to meeting prospective owners at the national boat share show at Braunston on the 23rd and 24th April 2016, we will only be bringing two boats at the show due to high levels of sales in the autumn and now this spring.

Ownashare will be attending Nantwich Canal Centre Show on Saturday 19th March .
Beeston Castle and Rufford will be opening their doors to viewers with owners aboard to answer any questions about shared ownership.
Ownashare staff will have a marquee with information about all of our shares for sale and will be happy to explore your requirements.
Come and join us to enjoy boats, food and music.

Many of our boats are commencing the new cruising season after having their winter work.
Unsually they are not coping with ice and cold mornings but winds from the storms rushing across the Atlantic.
Ownashare are starting the preparation for the show season which is fast approaching.
The first show where you can meet the owners of shared boats is at Nantwich Canal Centre CW5 8LB. Why not pop along for live music, boats to view, good food and company on Saturday 19th March?

Welcome to Ownashare in 2016.
There are lots of exciting changes due during this year and please keep checking this newsletter for information about the company.
Most of our boats are undergoing preventive maintenance but a few owners are continuing to enjoying the quiet canals and winter cruising.
As we prepare to welcome many new owners over the coming year our managed boats are being painted, refurbished and preparation for the cruising season ahead.
Happy 2016.

Ownashare has had a very busy autumn with record sales and increased enquiries.
Behind the scenes we have been even busier.
During the later part of the autumn several of our boats have temporarily moved to Fradley.
During the winter these boats will be using Fradleys facilities whilst undergoing both a galley and bathroom refit.
If you are passing Fradley they will be offering all boating services why call in and talk to them about your requirements.
Both private and shared boats will be very welcome.

With all of our boats owners signing up for a 6th year of service.
Ownashare would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their continued trust in our service.
We strive to provide the best service we are able to offer with a continuing eye to our costs.
Share sales have continued to be buoyant and i look forward to welcoming even more new owners to our syndicates over this autumn.
It is at this time of year that many of our boats are moving bases for the 2016 season so please do inquire as to the location of the boat you wish to view.

Last week Ownashare started a new improved helpline service.
One of our boats caught the swans neck under a lock gate and it broke off at the bearing.
Our mobile engineers attended the stricken boat and welded the swans neck back on and the owner quoted "smashing lads and did a great job which is permanent"
We would like announce no increase in our fees for 2016.
This week after our first weekend of owners meetings, we would also like to thank Theddingworth, Farndon and Beeston Castle for retaining Ownashare for their 6th year.
