Just a quick note. In all the brouhaha about Brownhills Canoe and Outdoor Centre, and the end of the relationship between Brownhills Community Association and Bear Creek Adventure, up till now Bear Creek have offered no comment.

Bear Creek, readers will recall, announced that the centre was under new management back in January, 2013. Earlier this month, they announced via Facebook that an agreement with Brownhills Community Association was not possible and that Bear Creek had withdrawn from the centre.

Through a link on Facebook and the website www.BrownhillsOutdoorCentre.co.uk, Bear Creek today released a statement. I suggest anyone interested visits the site and takes a look.

Since Tim Houghton of the Brownhills Canoe & Outdoor Centre Steering Group has had say, it seems only fair to point out the Bear Creek release too.

I have nothing further to add.

Let’s hope the Canoe and Outdoor Centre can now move forward.
