Hockham Admiral

Grant, also, give Tracey (or John, the owner) a call at the Tap. I did an article on it in "Places to Visit and Moor in the Norfolk Broads area" last year on 29th June.

Grant, Hi The Wroxham Tap http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/place?hl= ... 7153247037

I object to that, Jonny. Mary-Jane and I have worked bloody hard all our lives to save up enough money to afford our "lush Alpha". Get off your horse about the "moneyed people" and get real.....

We passed it by a couple of weeks ago and personally I didn't know whether to cry or fall about laughing.....

I don't think hire boats can (are permitted to!) do that, Mark...

Have done, Barry. Here's the latest: John & Mary-Jane, Friday Girl, Stern, Yes Gav & Annie, Escape, Side, Yes Tracy, Wayne, Kristie, Katakalousse Side, Yes Ric, Donna & Lilly, Tic Toc, Side, Yes Ian, Heather, Rachel and Tom, Senator, Stern, Yes Barry & Olive, Tot Tyme, Stern, Yes

Just spoken with George (co-owner of Coldham Hall with wife Natalie) and they will be publishing a new menu in a couple of weeks time. We will then be able to pre-order food to our choice. He has agreed that there will be no lekky charges this weekend! My previous figure of a total of a maximum of 40 attending can be increased if sufficient folks want to attend. Any personal enquiries or questions about this that you don't want public, to us, please, via e-mail or PM.

Perhaps Adam could bring the boat down on Friday and leave it there while you drive to Coldham?

Yes please, Julz. Sorry, my mistake!

Coldham Hall would welcome us (up to 40 people) on Saturday, 1st October. We would have the entire dining area and reserved moorings. Now let's have some names, please! (Name, Boat/Car, Stern/Side, Electricity-Yes/No) John & Mary-Jane, Friday Girl, Stern, Yes Gav & Annie, Escape, Side, Yes

Yes, please do, Gav.

David, Hi I'll leave this one open for a few more days to see if anyone has any other thoughts for dates/locations. Then perhaps you would put a header, like "The Southern Broads Meet... etc" at the top of the pages? Possibly to read "NBN 4th Birthday Party....."

So WTH else will you be, then, Gav?

OK David. We are happy to organise it if no-one objects; so shall we start a new topic, or what?

Just been reminded that the 24th is the last weekend of the Soton Boat Show... so how does the 1st October sound?

Great, David... well then it's up to us all to decide... how about Sats 24th September or 1st October? My vote would be for Coldham as you can get so many more boats in there, stern/side on with leccy...

We so enjoyed last year's "do" at the Sutton Staithe Hotel that I wondered if anything is on for this year? Talking with Barry (Red Rover) a couple of weeks ago and we wondered if it might be held South this year? Coldham Hall and the Reedham Ship have expressed interest in accomodating us, I'm sure there would be more...

Another tragedy... it reinforces that I really must wear my LSJ when mooring...every time...

Many thanks, David. With this and the rudder done I guess I wont need to bond another to the prop shaft?

Thanks for that but I don't think there's enough shaft showing, so I guess I'll have to go down David's way... with a new prop nut.

One I prepared earlier John Yes, that looks just what I wanted to see, thanks.
