Katmandu

We run a boarding cattery and always clean the runs between boarders with disinfectant specified for use in catteries that's effective against bacteria and viruses that could cause problems with cats. There are a number of different ones available and we have been assured by the suppliers that the Anigene for cattery we use is effective against envelope viruses like Corona including Covid-19.

Don't panic, keep calm Brooms are dredging their moorings that should reduce the levels a bit and good to see they are doing their bit to reduce the effects of global warming.

Thank you JanetAnne for the update and at least three reasons for trying to visit the next show. I hadn't thought of buying it and you shouldn't put ideas in my head although I suspect that anybody who puts the amount of work that is necessary into that sort of restoration would never want to sell. I notice your location is Hertfordshire, not North by any chance?

I am interested in the references to Dawn Star. My first visit to the Broads was September 1956 with my father when I was 8 years old and we spent a week on the Desert Star from Powles. Is the Dawn Star the same same class? If it is I must make sure I attend the next show if it is going to be there. I have done a little research and found that Desert Star was being restored until a few years ago when all seems to have gone quiet, can anybody provide an update? I currently own a boat that is moored on the southern Broads, it's a 1980s fibreglass job.
