The TNC is a Gentleman's Social and Drinking Club which was formed in Ickenham, Middlesex, in 1980 by the surviving members of the Every Night Of The Week Club (E NOT W). This followed the marriage of a number of the previous and current members to their present (or former) wives. Female members are now allowed, as long as they elect to be "Gentlemen".
The object of the Club is to maintain the tradition of holding Tuesday Nights sacrosanct in order to attend local hostelries with the aim of assessing the quality of various real ales. Occasionally, if a quorum dictates, Tuesday Night is moved to another weekday!
Regular events in the Tuesday Night Club On Tour calendar now include at least 8 weeks canal cruising on the waterways of Britain and now IRELAND, with occasional mainline steam rail tours.
Over the years it is our aim to cruise all the navigable inland waterways of Britain... and more! This site will detail the varied past and future cruises of T.N.C. On Tour. Of particular interest to canal enthusiasts will be the emphasis placed on little used or hard to reach navigations.
The "Earnest" and "Beatty" pages detail the new and old flagship narrowboats of T.N.C. On Tour. The "Earnest" page is particularly detailed and shows an R&D Fabrications fully fitted narrowboat being constructed from baseplate to being launched. There is also a fair bit of discussion about the specification for "Earnest".
The Canal Restoration pages detail in images various walks along the Rochdale Canal before final restoration. Images of Frankton locks at the top of the Mont over the years. Images of the top of the Newport Branch of Shroppie in 1972. Views of Woodham and Deepcut locks of Basingstoke being restored in 1980's.
