The Roving Canal Traders Association (RCTA) is a non-profit making organisation run to help support and promote the diverse array of existing and potential Canal and River Trust (CRT) registered Roving Traders on our waterways.

The RCTA was set up because CRT changed the business licence and they didn’t want to talk to Roving Traders on an individual basis. All the other business licences had associations eg hire boats hotel boats workboats coal boats etc. The new licence merged coal boats (which used to be known as “High Risk Roving Traders”) with Selling Roving Traders (previously known as Low Risk Roving Traders).

The RCTA has been in existence for some years now and in 2013 held its first ever floating market in Birmingham. It was a great success and fuelled thoughts of making regular floating markets a major feature of the organisations work.
