Great game,well done .Best of luck Sunday.So pleased to see Laura Hemp who grew up here in our town in North Norfolk Some good news for a change.

Alan,my fist wage was£2.1shilling and sixpence a week so could never fill the tank up,You watched where went and how far in those days,Just think a weeks wages for a gallon at today’s price .

Lovely river trip ,will follow you progress as did that trip many years ago and will find its change’s interesting

Many thanksFair T Middlin ,we’ll do our best to come along next time ,enjoyed all the meets including the first one when I think there were 10 of us and had hot pies in the rain Happy days

Looks like you all had a good time,may be pop in ,by foot sometime as we have sold Serendipity after many great years.

Hi Smoggy,it’s all a nice area we liked Hemingford ,St Ives and Ely,but the Broads attraction won in the end

Hi Smoggy,we had her there from the late eighties for nearly ten years before coming to Norfolk,had some great times when we were at Cross hall marina .

Spent many years moored at St Neots and cruised every corner of the system and enjoyed it all before bringing the boat to Norfolk when we moved .Mick Jones and his boatyard were always on our visit list when in the area ,in my mind the best yard on the Ouse.Nice place to be .

I’m with Nav and General for many years ,found them great when I recently had a problem with renewal.

Hi, did you get any?

I bought a Seagull outboard in the seventies from Beales in Hickling when he gave up hiring out powered dinghies because of the weed,he got fed up with going out to retrieve them when they got stuck.If I am right he had a hand operated petrol pump at the garage.Got back more than I paid for it when I sold the outboard a couple of years ago

Hi,Smoggy,was that the marina near the Town center.we had some boating friends at Crosshall who lived in St Neots ,who we keep in touch with.What years were you there ?

OVRC ? Was that the club at St Neots? Moored opposite at Croshall for many years ,nice apart of the river ,good memories, before we came to Norfolk

See you had the corner mooring yesterday,did not see you onboard.Staithe full ,some waiting hoping for the day boat on the front to leave ,maybe.Nice to see the so many out on a nice day.

Hi Marco,like you we moved here 18 years ago and love it .we have had many boats in Forty years from a small Shetland with outboard ,a petrol Freeman then a Princess 30 all great in their own way but have had a Bounty 28 for 15 years now ,we realised we wanted certain features which had to be a full size separate bedroom ,large shower,good gally,large windrow area with seating inside that could convert to sleep two and out side seating area and a sliding roof,which can be opened or shut in seconds .We have been to every corner of the Broads under all the bridges and don’t feel that WE could have be better suited.

Hi,we moved here to the edge of a market town in North Norfolk 18 years ago and love it.We considered country and coast but are so pleased we ended up here now as we are getting older and benefit from the close proximity of every thing we need.For us it has worked out well and would never considered moving back.

Did not realise Earles Court was gone,had an atmosphere of its own and was a good day out.

Thank you all for your hard work and time,Respect to all.🤗

Thank you Grendel for comments,I posted the thread to see how the. Numbers allowed would affect the leisure industry and possible outcomes or to the solutions that could apply to the type of cases mentioned.It was never intended to become yet another political debate ,of which there are many .I would still like to here comments about the way these visitors and providers can face this situation when these new limits come into force ?

Reading the news this morning and the new restrictions made me think of the implications for the holiday industry in and around Norfolk ? Many boats and holiday rentals cater for up to 10 or 12 people who have bookings ? I read elsewhere of 7 people booked on a boat from Monday ,do they leave one person out ?,get refunds ? Or rebook ? Just as the industry was beginning to settle down a bit 😮
