I used a local seamstress a couple of years ago who did a haversack for me really cheaply, but she has moved away now.

Hi Ed, hope you're well not heard from you for a bit !
Many thanks for the tip, I'll try these people !
I think the Centenary slip is worth repairing !

You could try people who specialise in caravan awnings and boat canopies, (manufacture and repairs) there are usually people local to you that do this. I have in the past with some good results and the prices charged are usually reasonable!
Well done again on your Centenary, looks a nice one and the price you paid was a good one imo!

I've done a couple of bags ... even had a groan on here about inadequate bag zips. Get yourself onto 'that site' and look for long zips. I use the zips intended for boats or awnings etc with big teeth. I think zips are rated by the number of teeth per inch (?). I think I used either 8 or 10 teeth per inch. When doing the repair, I leave the old zip in place and stitch the new zip sides onto the outsides of the old zip. It takes time as I am no seamstress but it works. You will most likely have to use a zip a little longer than the old one unless you get a zip that you can cut to length.
Cheers, Phil
