If you go onto Carole's excellent Broadland Memories site

Go into archives and then news cuttings scroll down to 1971

[Acle B.N.P.]

In a previous life I was involved in a sign manufacturing company allowing for inflation since my time we could have halved the cost

Ray

[Acle B.N.P.]

There are signs in Suffolk

I have just driven from Beccles to Bungay and a sign is now fitted under the Bungay Town sign

[Winter Hire]

I agree crossing Breydon is not difficult provided you take due note of the tides and take care

but it is difficult timewise to cross out and back in a short break given the main hire yards are all well upriver

 

Ray

[Winter Hire]

I think a !ot of hirers take short breaks these days with the main yards based in Stalham,Wroxham and. Horning combined with tides over Breydon it makes North to South trips very difficult 

Ray

[Winter Hire]

I agree 're smaller yards being more  accommodating but they are slowly closing

No Summercraft next season one of the best gone

Ray

 

[Winter Hire]

Freedom at Thorpe did some Limited hire over the winter months but not sure they still do I am sure Andy will confirm.

To my knowledge there are no other southern river yards hiring over the winter months

Ray

[Ludham Bridge, What Do You Think?]

I think the layout is ok but not a profiled metal roof

 

Ray

[Summercraft]

I am old enough to remember Dick and Gwen Sabberton running the yard truly lovely people

 

[Summercraft]

It would appear to be true

they are selling the boats and running as a private marina

they are still going to let the holiday properties

[Boating In November]

Hi Simon

It was a bit wet at the time not surprised you were not out for long

You are in a good pub there staff are friendly and it has a welcome atmosphere

Ray

PS Like you I was heading for a closed Tea room

[Boating In November]

Hi Simon

Saw the boat at Reedham lunchtime but no sign of you

assume you were keeping warm somewhere

[Boating In November]

I was in Wroxham yesterday afternoon and it poured down for about an hour

grey and overcast for the rest of the afternoon
