Advance Closure of Balmoral

We are sorry to announce that due to the continuing developments of the COVID-19 epidemic, the Board of Directors have taken the decision to close Balmoral for the protection of her volunteer workforce until further notice.

This Saturday the Balmoral was scheduled to host the Bristol Channel branch of the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society (PSPS), for an in-depth talk with the General Manager of Waverley Excursions, Paul Semple.

As a result of this continuously evolving situation, the PSPS Bristol Channel branch have taken the difficult decision that it would be unwise for this meeting to go ahead at the present time. As a result, their Branch AGM on Saturday 25th April has also been postponed.

Together we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and encourage you to please share this information with any individuals that might have been interested in attending.

We want to take this opportunity to wish good health for you and your families, and thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your continued time, energy and support.
