I wish that were the case. The original sign and posts were removed and later replaced with brand new posts and sign. They may be in the same position but they are new!

Could you write the script??? What is the last thing you would want in the middle of a cycle path - yes, a post for a road sign. How many brain cells are needed to know this won't work

Griff, Good to meet you in the White Horse on Friday! The new wetshed is part of Hall Common Farm, so the adjeacent house and gardens are there but just a bit out of sight!!!! Mike

Congrats to Richardsons - not only winning the Business Development Award but also the Business of the Year in the EDP Business Awards on Thursday evening. Clive looked a little uncomfortable on stage and a rowdy bunch they were, but well deserved.

Jim, I live round the corner from Womack and you shouldn't have any trouble getting a public mooring this time of year. Over the last two weeks there have been spaces most of the time. Mike O

We have just had Serenity compounded and polished in the water by a new local company - Boat Valet Ltd They did a very good job at a very reasonable price so worth considering. Contacts are Dorian 07860 459260 & Ben 07914 680148 Mike O

Andy, Thanks for that, can you PM you contact details and I will get hime to give you a call. MikeO

Jonzo, Thanks for that, I did think of Colin but he doesn't seem to advertise on the forums any longer so thought he may have stopped. I will message him. Mike O

Can anybody recommend a local boat electrician? A firend has just aquired a 27' Seamaster which is in need of some electrical attention. Many thanks - Mike O

Mark, It's probably the same one we saw a couple of times (from the pub) last year. Clearly, he likes the spot.

Interesting topic! As a local - and a boat owner, we have never had an problems with either Stag or Hen parties. I'm sure that isn't everybodies experience, but we have met them on the water and in some of the pubs and only found them to be out to have a bit of fun. Some of the costumes can be a bit over the top but never offensive and while one or two get a bit worse for wear, there is normally somebody in the party keeping an eye on things. Keep them coming.

I am happy to report that both the tackle shop and the gift shop are still in business. I think both are open 7 days, but don't take that as correct, I am a Ludhamite so know the word on the street in these parts!!!!!!!!!

Excellent draw, well done Harry and Jack - the fee is in the post! Many thanks and happy christmas to all.

I think the photo is taken from Fye Bridge - between the Ribs of Beef and The Mischief.

There is a danger that we get into a heated argument between owners and hirers which will achieve nothing. The reality is that the broads are there for us all to enjoy and we need BA to manage it efficiently and in a cost effective manner. Unfortunately, BA is 'broken' and needs a complete revamp to make it effective in todays world. From an owners point of view I don't have a problem with the level of the toll if the authority is managing properly, in fact it's probably the lowest part of our boating costs. What we really need is a united voice and an authotity which is answerable to all it's users.
