[Pacific Cruisers Late Start To Season]

Talking to Richard last year he said he that he was considering not opening until May

I believe they have some family things that they wish to do

[Waveney River Centre Hire Cruisers]

A hire fleet did run from there many years ago named after football teams if my memory is correct I believe Peter (Jenny Morgan) was involved or knows about it.

[Merry Christmas From The Mods]

I agree with your thoughts Vaughan and Peter

I would also offer my thoughts to those who have lost loved ones and been through adversity this year

Christmas can be a difficult time for some

Hi Ian

Those were the days Susan Ellis was a character

She was busy one night and summarily co-opted my two sisters

as acting barmaids for the evening

Hi Regulo

You are correct certainly that was the case when I hired them

Ray

[Harvey Eastwood 37]

These are superb craft I took Santa Margherita out on

her maiden voyage hired her for two weeks

fit out was superb

She started out as a private build for a german chap but

he cancelled the order after Harvey Eastwood had started the build

That was how she ended up in there hire fleet

[Gracie]

I spoke to her ten days ago

and she stated she wanted a break from the forum

It is a pity in life that there is always that small minority that spoil it for the majority.

That is why we need rules in life to protect the majority from the minority

 

Great read feels like we are there with you

[River Thames Past Hire Yards]

I can think of six maximum

That includes Hobbs who hire a couple high class craft

[Naughty-cal Heads To The Broads Again]

Here we go again Private v Hire

I have hired boats for 50 years and been on the broads most of those years I do not want to own a boat because through family and work commitments I would only use it 2/3 weeks a year and for personnel reasons I do not like the idea of syndicate boats

I have a RYA skippers certificate

In all of those years I have seen very few instances of bad behaviour or bad helmanship and more on the canals than the broads

The way you lot carry on people reading this thread would think the broads are no better than dodgem cars at a fairground

In general most people  have a nice quiet holiday on the broads 

one incident happens and everyone jumps on the bandwagon and starts shouting and becoming abusive

thats me finished with this forum

I am with Jayfire

I think it is Berney Mill also

[Barnes And Wroxham Bridge]

Up until about ten years or so ago, Hirers always took boats through Wroxham on there own

I have taken boats through numerous times, thankfully with no damage

Would I do it today, probably only if it was my own boat

Ray

[Acle Bridge Vanity Project]

I do work in the Building Industry, My company are Design and Build Contractors with in house design teams

Those designs shortlisted in my opinion are very poor, I made a statement that primary school children could design better and they have in competitions we have run through schools in the past

BA should be commended for purchasing the site for the public to use but I hope they put a building on there that blends in with the environment and not overpowers it as those designs do

Ray

[Acle Bridge Vanity Project]

In my view children at my local primary school could do better

I do not consider that any of them suit the location or the environment

Also as Vaughan states, I think all three are outside planning guidelines
