Horning has always been short of moorings, but don't forget, hire craft can moor at Ferry Marina. Private boats would probably be welcome too. The Ferry Inn also operates a ferry service (using m

Carol, there are more than a few private boat-owners who haven't got a clue either, and very often they have far more horses under the deck too. We were moored outside the Surlingham Ferry when, at ab

Have to say we went to the Horning Boat Show last year for the first time and had a great day. Definitely going again this year and would thoroughly recommend it if you have not been before. Something for every one and the kids loved it too.

My favourite has to be the enormous burgers at the Swan Bar- B- Q.        Oh ok and the beer !!!

Just keeping everything crossed for the weather !

Strange Iain,  I think John want's people to buy NBN branded clothing.. Personally I think the burgees are excellent quality and value for money too.  They are also amazing for working out the wind direction without the need for expensive marine equipment, also other members can easily identify you whilst on the river. The look brilliant on my own boat too and I'm sure would make your own boat stand out well, whether that be a hireboat or your own!  

Get your burgee here: http://shop.norfolkbroadsnetwork.com/index.html#blog

I'll be there, hanging around the Entrance to Horning sailing club, welcoming people, pointing them in the right direction and to the right people. Generally trying to get you stinkies to have a go in a real boat (weather permitting)!

It's likely to be too cold and windy for the kilt though... One day...

Hi Strowager,

Do you have a full shot of the wooden boat, I assume it was a very upmarket day-boat, but very nice.

It was good to see that the day went well for everyone.

Regards

Yes Alan, it was a very upmarket Launch, on the Whispering Reeds stand on Swan Green.

The hull was GRP clinker style, (the best of both worlds !)

We had a most enjoyable visit, looked longingly at Colin Buttifant's boats. Checked out Elisamoose's very smart new Cat's Whiskers, met the lovely new Annie of  Whelpton's - looks like the yard is in good hands; and lunched with SteveO and Nik at the sailing club, where we said 'Hello' to Q.

Great weather, excellent show.

Really? - Not what we experienced a fortnight ago at the New Inn.  We berthed stern on along with Robin, met up with Jason so there were six of us round a table in the bar during the afternoon. As it approached 1700-ish we were asked to vacate the moorings unless we intended to eat in the pub that evening.  We intended to eat onboard but continue to use the bar for the evening - Nope - that was not acceptable, so we had to sail.  Now if the moorings had been full or craft waiting then of course we should move on to enable customers to stay over that are having meals in the pub, but the moorings were far from full.  So we sailed, leaving yet more empty moorings, next morning on passing they were still places empty - Seems a strange way to run a business, turning down custom unless you intend to have dinner.  I wonder if they treat car parking customers the same way, that is -  No dinner - No parky
