| Booking system | A booking chart for the following calendar year is circulated in agreed priority order starting late summer At the owners' annual meeting, the bookings for the next year are confirmed. Each owner has a priority for that year, and moves up a couple of places each year: after a year at the top of the list, the owner then starts at the bottom, and after six years the cycle begins again. Each owner chooses three weeks of which a maximum of two can be in the "high season" (April to September inclusive). A reverse priority is then used for owners to select a fourth week from those still available. Two weeks are usually reserved for winter maintenance in December or January. |
| Priority for school holidays | Two shareholders have School Holiday priority booking for which they pay a premium on their monthly fees. |

General comments by vendor
Lovely craft with full size shower, 2 toilets, TV, Diesel Central heating.
Adderbury is a fine example of a semi-trad narrowboat. It is maintained to a high standard by a combination of using professional engineering services and work undertaken by several of the syndicate members. This ensures that the boat retains its condition at reasonable costs.
The boat is typically based at a marina selected by the owners, for a period of two years, and then moved to a new location at the end of cruising season.
