Jonnie Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Hello all. Just popping in to say hi. I used to holiday on the Broads from 1971 - 1986 with my parents - Aston & Summercraft and latterly becoming a member and then crewing and mating on Albion before we moved down to Dorset in 1986. I can't believe it has been 30 years, but I have booked a holiday for the family next May. Within a few days we decided that was too long to wait, so we've also booked this October half term as well! I can't wait to introduce my own lads to the Broads. Anyway, hello one and all. Jonnie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Hockham Admiral, Many thanks. We've gone for Rhapsody in October and Melody next May, both from Richardson's. I've only been on centre cockpit cruisers before so I am looking forward to some thing different. Best wishes Jonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm originally from Forres, but moved south when I was 6 months old so my Scots is not so broad! Good to "meet" you.

Funnily enough my wife came back from seeing my mum yesterday with two photo albums that have a number of old Broads photos in them. Unfortunately Dad stuck them to the album, but I'll see if I can photograph them with my phone and see if they come out ok. J 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi VetChugger, I agree, that would be the best solution, unfortunately they are firmly stuck in the album. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
