Broads Week On Radio Norfolk

[TheQ]

Well I thought I'd start it, Radio Norfolk has annouced next week is Broads week, though what that means as far as programming is concerned I have no idea. We'll just have to listen and hope it's OK I would think Wally is going to be busy..

On his Vespa, the radio car or on his very nice Sancere 33.  Met him a few years ago at Irstead Staite , what a very nice chap he is. Always liked the Sancere as a cruiser. His looked a particularly nice example.

I think Nick CONRAD had a day out with Broads Beat yesterday so I guess that will be aired next week.

I've only met Wally,  the year he did the 3 Rivers race, but I've seen that boat around a few times, I hadn't realised it was his.

 Mike Liggins took a broads holiday a couple of years ago with his family, we met him down at Thurne Lion Dyke .

 And of course Ian Masters from a few years ago on BBC Norfolk / Look  east is a keen member of Wroxham Sailing club

When on the boat, I love listening to Wally just after the 6am news on Radio Norfolk. He gives high and low water times for the local areas and sometimes (not often) gets himself in a bit of a pickle with low water at GYYS. He does try and give the right times for boats to cross Breydon although I have a suspicion one or two newbies might be a tad confused after listening to him. He is always a pleasure to listen to however and being a keen boater makes any Broads news interesting. To me he is the sound of being in my favourite place!

My Radio Norfolk listening seems to have changed in inverse proportion to appearances by that Nigel Conrod. Useless broadcaster, and never has been a journalist !

[Hylander]

Are you talking about Nick Conrad.     I enjoy his morning programme and listen as often as I can.      Why is he useless.

 

We had the pleasure of meeting Wally and his wife once when moored at North Cove.   What a nice couple.

Just  heard NC and a broads representative talking about the " National Park",  Email of complaint sent...

[NorfolkNog]

Yep, seems JP has been on this morning. I'm sure it will turn up on the i-player if anyone wants a listen! 

 

[TheQ]

I caught a bit of the NC JP interview, the National Park question was asked, and JP trotted out its only for advertising it won't make any difference, But we all know it's been JPs aim for years for the broads to become a National Park, NC let JP say anything nothing was challenged.

They would look to entertain, inform and amuse. One can not expect an Andrew Marr confrontational interview on a local station talking about their back yard.

Give the fellow a break, he has said it is for marketing purposes on a worldwide stage. If he or the organisation renege on that promise then hold them to account.

Chris, I would love to give the bloke a break but I just don't trust him. Too much water under the bridge I suppose.
