Di's news has almost certainly reached some/many... but Di has asked me to post this message on her behalf:

***** Message from Simon's Daughter, Di Smith *****

We are devastated to announce that Simon Fishwick, Director and Centre Manager at Barton Turf Adventure Centre, Husband of Sheila died on Monday 13th December 2021. He had taken a step back from his role at BTAC earlier this year due to a diagnosis of esophageal cancer

***** End of Message *****

For anyone new to HBBR... Simon was a long-standing supporter, and hosted events such as this one: https://www.songofthepaddle.co.uk/home-built-boat-rally-barton-turf-2010-t24676.html

Can anyone provide an update on BTAC?

Is Sheila still running the centre or is there new management?

Is it still operating in the same way?

I ask because I am wondering about the possibility of obtaining a mooring there.

Hi Greg.
As far as I am aware Barton Turf Activity Centre is still open for business and is being run by Sheila and Simon's daughter Di. Suggest you give them a call.
