The Club's aims are:
- To encourage the preservation, restoration and use of working and ex-working narrow boats*.
- To promote the maintenance of the waterways system to a standard suitable to facilitate the navigation of such boats throughout the year.
- To represent the interests of the users of such boats in their dealings with all waterway authorities and other relevant organisations.
- To promote awareness of historic narrow boats through an archive, website, newsletter and other activities.
- To promote and campaign for the retention and/or reinstatement of appropriate traditional and historical waterway furniture, features and working practices.
The Club's constitution, as amended March 2021, can be viewed here.
