On another forum I've just seen that Stalham has just had a 24 hour notice put up..

One question I'm not sure of, but I have seen elsewhere is the statement that, While BA moorings are primarily for Boats and fishermen can be asked to move. Non BA, Village staithes do not have that regulation. Personnally I think it will be up to the parish council if they have control, to make or not make that regulation. But actually what are the regs on all the village staithes???

Late for your Mooring?, Sunset? The last post?

No aerial will work with trees, buildings and hill sides in the way. Height is what is required. The longest poorhouse can safely use is what's required.. Sent from the Norfolk Broads Network mobile app

Unfortunately they have been fitting zebra crossings for cycling i drive over one every day. If some child comes down the cycle path that leads to it and cycles straight out the motorist has no chance of stopping in time as the cycle path comes out behind a high hedge..

In norfolk that depends on the council, there was an idiot from the council proudly anouncing more cycling Zebra crossings for Norwich. Pity the highway code states Zebra crossings are for pedestrians only. Therefore the council is encouraging illegal cycling.

Another step forward, the plasterers are in, their van has been there a few days and I've now seen them carting in Plasterboard... Hmm Plasterboard not very original to a 14th century building..

There are not that many opening bridges in the country.

There is another way of reducing the temperature of the rails, just rig a summer roof on the bridge. A few yards of canvas.....

and the other half is people moving down from Yorkshire...

It's on Radio Norfolk again this morning, In the 7 Months since it has been opened: The police have been notified of 30 crashes (there were probably more) 20 road signs are currently Down hit by cars, (some have replaced before) 3 kerbs have been demolished at Junctions (more no doubt have been hit)

I agree with Ex pilot, I'd also say if we suddenly go from High air pressure to low, there will be a rush of salt water up with the following high tide and a likely fish kill..

When to go through avoiding all racing or when there are reduced numbers sailing and other information Remember Not all sailing boats are competitors or have any association with the club, we had a non competing fleet sail through one year, that was interesting.. Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th July, really you shouldn't have a problem as they are not racing on the river, but if you wish to avoid all our sailors. You can see on the previous post when they are travelling to the broads and back. Should you wish to view our racing or just the Broad, please come onto the broad and do so. We request you travel round the outside of the broad and also if you wish to moor please keep close to the banks. The windward end is always a good place to moor under the shelter of the trees.. Mooring in the middle or travelling in the middle can be worrying for those not used to Broads sailing as boats come at you from all directions and will get very close.. 30th July to 3rd August, Racing on the river Between Dydlers mill and the club house. With boats getting ready for racing between the club and the New Inn. The big cruisers may race as far as Woodcutters dyke if the wind is in the right direction. The only place for viewing is at the club or the Swan Inn Green, sadly the Blofield estate put no mooring signs on the bank further up the river a couple of years ago. No competiors on the river before 09:14, or after about 17:30, Very much Reduced numbers between 12:30 and 14:00 We TELL the competitors that if the motorboats are close to the bank ( less than 6ft) to turn away and treat them as the bank. Note, especially in the first race in the morning , there are a lot of beginners they may make mistakes, Note, Some competitors may think the gap in front of you is big enough to tack in and out before you get there, so be aware you may have to slow or stop if they get it wrong. Note, in Broads racing a few inches apart is a big distance, they will get very close to the side of your boat. We ask, Non competitors to please stick to the bank, that's within 6ft of the bank, that way there is not enough room for a boat to sail between you and the bank. Getting boats all round you is a nightmare.. If there is a start coming up, you will see lots of boats sailing across the river and back, outside the clubhouse, the races always start exactly on the 5 minutes (we use a radio controlled clock). If you are just a minute from the start, if you could slow down and hold back till the start has gone, it should be easier for you to get through. If it's really light weather, the boats tend to cover the river, if you are following the fleet all you can do is stick to the right hand bank and go forward when a gap appears. If you are arriving with the fleet coming towards you, slow down and if neccesary come to a halt. The boats when they arrive will move out and round you, then you can go forward. Should you have a problem, please make a note of the symbol and number on the sail, and if you can the broads registration number as well please. Rreport it to the club as soon as possible. The competitors all have to have their own insurance, and if we can Identify the competitor you will be put into contact. We had someone report damage, a month later, saying it was a white coloured boat with a white sail, and then they claimed it was on a day that turned out to be one we weren't racing!! not suprisingly it was impossible to identify the boat concerned. Hopefully thats every thing covered, Please enjoy your trips out on the broads...

Yes it's that time of year again, just about a Month to the start of Horning Regatta week. So for those who wish to watch / avoid / Get thorugh Horning with as little difficulty as possible, during those dates, here I hope is some useful information. To Make it easier to read, The first post will be what we are doing, the second post will be : When are the best times to go through, if you wish to avoid the event. What we Tell the competitors, request the non competitors please do and why we do this.... Saturday 28th July 2018, Club event members only competing, The Racing is on Black Horse Broad (AKA Hoveton Little Broad) from about 14:00, so boats will be commuting up to the broad from the sailing club from around 13:00. There is likely to be a rescue boat or two towing small dinghies and maybe the odd keelboat up to the broad. The boats are likely to be returning from 16:00. Sunday 29th July 2018, Club event members only competing, The racing is also on the broad, boats are likely to go to the broad between 09:00 and 10:00, returning for lunch 12:30 to13:00. then back for the Afternoon session in time for the 14:00 start. Most boats are likely to return to the club after 16:00. Monday 30th August 2018 to 3rd August 2018, An open event on the River Anybody is welcome to compete, or come visit the club and see what's going on. We will be wrapped up in our event, there will be a lot of strangers around, so if you visit, want to ask questions, please do, someone will point you to a person with the knowledge. 09:25 Racing starts, so boats will be on the water from about 09:15, the first series includes the beginners so hoards of small children from 8 years old in their first regatta event. 10:30 the bigger boats join in, 20ft to 25ft keelboats. 12:30 most will pack up for lunch, however, there are a few boats out for special classes, and the Big sailing cruisers have their lunch time up to 2 hour race.. 14:00 the afternoon Series starts, the absolute beginners are not encouraged out, because it's too busy, but there will be a fair amount of dinghies, keelboats, and the slower sailing cruisers will still be out. 16:00-The afternoon Main series should be finishing, shortly after there will be reduced Numbers in a couple of races for special trophies. 17:30 we should be finished but there may be the odd straggler about.

Have you informed the police you are taking potshots at the clays family?

I must admit while preparing to reverse onto a stern on Mooring, I threw the mud weight over the bow .... to see the loop unhook itself off the cleat... however, since the rope floats it was just a case of grab the boat hook and pull it back in..

The adjoining houses haven't been started yet but planning permission notices appeared on them a couple of weeks back..

Windows have appeared upstairs!!! so those windows are no longer boarded up...

Well the first part of 1976 I was living in Milton Keynes Training at the Civil Aviation Authority School of Telecomunications Engineering... Which was in Bletchley Park I also took my driving test the day the summer weather broke in a huge thunderstorm, the emergency stop was interesting with all that water on top of the accumulated oil...

There is a huge decline in hire boat numbers over that period, they are the ones that were out on the water a lot. There has been an increase in private boat owners, some of us have to work, others have other reasons they can't get out on the water all the time...

Many of the threads including this one, have a title that does not tell you whether it's for fans of something or for those against it. This title just Says England verses Tunisia, it doesn't say for the discusion of the football match or for fans of the match or for those that hate football...

ARRRGGGhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

SWMBO was most displeased when i got home last night, BBC 1 Football, BBC2 Tennis, Channel 4 Horse racing...

When that mill was built there were still buildings along the river edge there, including a pub, it was still a busy area...
