Its nice to see that it was thought that having an extra bridge to negotiate could increase visitors to the broads whereas the current sitution of having to negotiate two road bridges, a rail bridge and the foot bridge above the lock is maybe just not challenging enough...

Now that's a profile piccy to enjoy.... yum!

I once ordered a pair of Bowman o rings from a well known south coast supplier only to be told my order didn't make their minimum order value requirement. "No problem" says I, "just send two sets" When my seals arrived they were in a huge jiffy bag that included the company's latest (charged for) catalogue. I got one set of seals, value £6, the catalogue I hadn't asked for (£5) taking the order over the £10 minimum and then the carriage charge because it would no longer go in the post and came by UPS. All in my one pair of seals at £6 with p&p and vat cost just under £28!!

This must be the only calendar you do that you recognise all the scenes in!

Excellent news... Whilst away furiously planking old wooden boats it seems my minions ( ) have been busy setting up order buttons and PayPal details so you can finally order your NBN calendars! We have taken on board the comments from last year and our 2019 edition will have the full picture on one page with the calendar part below on the own page making the whole thing more useable. James is now setting it all out ready to go to print in the next few weeks so we will have stock nice and early for Christmas. Auntie Pat will be lovingly sealing each and every one of them with a kiss specially. So there we go, a new improved model fress off the press and available to order now somewhere at the top of the screen. (I'm starting to sound like a salesman ) Time to plunder your PayPal wallets peeps Cheers

Sorry chaps, predictive text keeps getting the better of me! And I checked it

James work email.... james@newmanthompson.co.uk

James is going to put his works email on here in a bit as he would prefer the piccys going straight to his work if we can. Can a mod remove his personal one and substitute it when it arrives. Thanks peeps

Thank you Mr Jayfire Sir! And yes, well spotted peeps, we do have 14 piccys for a 12 month calendar. Last year we did similar as it gives us something in reserve should we have an issue. In the end everything was fine and we popped the reserves on the cover instead. I now need the winners to send their photo's to James ready for him to put it all together. If you could aim for your highest definition best possible version then James can check them as they arrive and get in touch direct if something is needed. It's no good me trying to get involved in this bit coz its way over my head... Lol James is at james@newmanthomson.co.uk Can you please put "NBN calendar photo number... ". (and then the number(s) so he can see what has arrived etc). The tecky team are now setting up an order button so we can all get our PayPal wallets out and grab the chance to own one of the finished articles. Thank you for your support.

Well that was a close run competition! Our winner this year is photo no 14 with 17 votes Runner up photo 13 with 15 votes. Photos 87 and 101 are joint third with 13 votes Photos 11, 64 and 112 came next with 12 votes Photos 6 and 108 accrued 11 votes Photo 34 has 10 votes And finally photos 21, 23, 44 and 56 sneak home with a healthy nine. Well done to the winners and a massive thank you to you all for giving us such a fine selection to choose from. I will cross reference the piccys to the original thread later and put names to the chosen images (unless someone else would like to while I am at work)? Cheers everyone

With a little over 24 hours to go dont miss your chance to vote before its too late.

A.S.A.P. have it on the shelf

And I believe they are on Chameleon...

This may help https://www.sheridanmarine.com/product/toilet-rinse-out-deck-fitting I am sure I found it cheaper somewhere but as yet I haven't found them.

Fisherman's Inn moorings are open and available no problem but the actual pub is currently closed with notices in the windows to that effect.

What an excellent day for staying indoors in the dry and browsing through this year's piccys of warmer times and superb views. Don't forget to vote.....

I believe Grendel said Griff spent some time on Jewel #2 which would increase fuel and explain B.A.'s reduced consumption!

And a forum calendar makes a lovely christmas present...

Ok ok, you got me! Merry Christmas young man (Sorry Iain but what can I do eh?)

Bah Licorice All Sorts!! Sorry, dont like Humbugs....

Independance is looking well....

Iain, old friend, if you are looking down on this lot... hhhhhheeeeeeeelllllllpppppp!!

I couldn't find that last night. Hadn't realised it was way back in 2016! At the current rate of price drop it will be affordable by 2024.

I remember the locks having Merrydown Vintage on draught...

Some of those days boats from Oulton Broad arrive at Beccles at low tide with three foot of knotted apology attached to their cleats which won't even reach the mooring post let alone actually secure the boat!
