With our boats AGM now in full swing it is a great time of year for us when we meet our customers and enjoy a nice meal and discuss our boats.
This year we are meeting at The Globe on the Ashby canal, this has enabled owners to bring the boat to the meeting, now that is being very inclusive.
Most groups have already decided their moorings for next year and many boats have already moved to their new base and if the owners were lucky enough to have booked an autumn week can even enjoy an early cruise too.

Autumn has started this week with a distinct change of temperature.
This is the season in which our boat annual general meetings occur with owners getting together to meet and chat and decide the future of the boats mooring location upgrades and maintenance.
For the management company this is a lovely time when we actually get to see the person behind the voice on the phone and likewise for new owners they meet all of the team.

Our stand at Over water Marina Audlem Cheshire on the 3rd and 4th September was considering the very poor weather, very well attended.
We met some lovely potential owners over the weekend and provided a great deal of information about our boat share listings.
I am pleased to say that even though we did not have a boat at the show several bookings were made to view boats during this week.

As we approach August I am totally over whelmed this year with the number of shares we have sold.
I have been selling shares for 6 years now and I have never experienced as much interest, even selling three shares whilst cruising on my holidays.
Enquiries are still coming in, something two years ago would have been unheard of.
Currently my stock of available shares is at a record low but this should change as owners return from their summer cruise and evaluate their circumstances.

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?
