Andydhewitt Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 good evening to everyone on here , I’d just like to ask a question . If I purchased a NBN window sticker for my hire boat , does that sticker grant me any special privileges on the broads such as , cheaper mooring etc.... may sound like a dumb question but I was just wondering lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hi Andy, it entitles you to a friendly reception, a chat with like minded people, advice if you need it, new friends and a warm welcome from any other crew displaying NBN credentials. In short, everything that money can't buy... but nothing that it can 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambridgeCabby Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Instead of sticking a window sticker on (which will be a pig to remove), why not purchase a NBN flag which you can fly proudly then take home and reuse every time you return editted to add i now realise the current window stickers are static cling so will remove more easily 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExSurveyor Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I have just realized that I have been flying the forum pennant upside down for the past year, and no one has come to my rescue. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 we do two types of sticker, one is permanent, the other is the sort that sticks by static and is easily removable. https://forum.norfolkbroadsnetwork.com/shop/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to be a mug of tea for me as i`m allergic to alcahol. I know i`ve said that on here loads of times, but i keep saying it because Maurice Minor (yes, come on John admit it) always makes a comment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 we used to fly our pennant from the mop on Pacific Princess, which when stood on the deck in the V of the pulpit rail and secured to the rail with a zip tie stood about 3/8 of an inch higher than the highest point of the roof. We knew therefore that if the mop handle went under Ludham Bridge then everything else did. I'm sure it was considered very uncouth, and made scrubbing the decks tricky too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Wards do one - And as usual you'll get 10% off using the discount code 'NBN' at checkout. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading through the posts, i was going to say about Brian Wards, but you beat me to it. The one we bought has a grab rail clamp, which can be a bit fiddly, though once done up tight sits firmly. We always fly it from the rear grab rail across the coachroof mid ships. The only thing i`d like to do is buy a bigger NBN burgee, as the current one is a bit small. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
