Father christmas arrives in Retford on the Chesterfield Canal (below) in the company of assorted elves, children and local dignitaries to launch this year's Chesterfield Canal Trust festive trips - but for those Scrooges who hate Christmas, there's a new option of a 'Bah Humbug' trip too! Book for a trip between now and Christmas Eve on one of the Trust's four boats operating from five different bases - Retford (07925 851569), Worksop or Shireoaks (0114 360 0460), Tapton Lock (Chesterfield) or Hollingwood (01629 533020). Every child on the trips gets a present; every adult gets a drink and a mince pie; the price is £6 per person and all profits go to support the Canal Trust and its restoration work.
