The Wilts & Berks Canal Trust is a registered charity no. 299595, and a waterway society based in Wiltshire, England, concerned with the restoration of the Wilts & Berks Canal. The Trust is the successor to the Wilts & Berks Canal Amenity Group (formed in 1977) and a founder member of the Wilts & Berks Canal Partnership, which embraces the Trust, the local authorities for the areas through which the route of the canal passes, statutory bodies, and other interested parties. ==History== The Trust originated in 1977 as the Wilts & Berks Canal Amenity Group whose remit was to protect what remained of the canal, and restore short sections for their amenity value. The first Wilts & Berks Canal Trust (W&BCT) was formed in 1997. Wilts & Berks Canal Amenity Group was a founding member of the Trust together with North Wilts District Council, West Wilts District Council, Swindon Borough Council, Vale of the White Horse District Council, Oxfordshire County Council and Wiltshire County Council. However, the structure of the Trust prevented them from applying for certain funds and grants, and was wound up in 2001. The Trust re-emerged as a member of the Wilts & Berks Canal Partnership in 2001.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About the Trust )〕 In 2007, membership rose to over 2000 for the first time. The Duchess of Cornwall became patron of the trust in 2006. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wilts & Berks Canal Trust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
