I should get there in time, so put me on the list

[kpnut]

We seem to have two spring meet threads going at the same time. Can they be merged?

Are you seeing double!! been drinking?

[kpnut]

Is my head playing tricks? No alcohol involved, I promise. 

[FairTmiddlin]

No tricks in your head

It is traditional to have a C-in-C from Malthouse to Salhouse each meet. Usually bedecked with flags and Bunting.

We have had a generous offer to lead the C in C on Saturday morning , could all those wishing to take part please say on here .

The flotilla will assemble on Malthouse Broad (Ranworth) on Saturday morning where Broadland Grebe will lead off to Salhouse 

I'm confused now. Should that be Friday morning or do we go to Salhouse on the Friday and go to Ranworth on the Saturday to cruise in company back to Salhouse.

[CambridgeCabby]

Traditionally the CinC has been the Saturday morning , I believe , if I’m incorrect I’m sure someone can correct me 

[kpnut]

I’ll bring some cakes and other eats.

Last year I believe only the Saturday night was booked at Salhouse, most members met at Ranworth to CinC to Salhouse.  This year both Friday and Saturday have been reserved.

I’ll be there Friday night and as I’ll need to top the batteries up think I’ll have a nice cruise to Ranworth and back on the Saturday morning!

[CambridgeCabby]

We intend to overnight at Salhouse on the Friday , dress Pipedreams there and meet up at Salhouse for the CinC on Saturday , if Socrates lets us know what time he would like us to assemble 

[garryn]

Daisy Chain will be joining in the fun.

[kpnut]

Springer’s Retreat will give it a go.

I’ll do the same, the bunting might not be up to much, but I’ll give it a go…😎🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

We will be staying overnight at Salhouse on Friday so will travel to Ranworth Saturday morning - hopefully

Does that mean there might be two C of C's - a 'mini'' one from Salhouse to Ranworth and then one from Ranworth back to Salhouse?

Hi I have a question to ask can anyone visit you all Forum  Boaters from the Road to Salhouse Broad on that Saturday? 

[YnysMon]

Yes, I think so. I’m sure I read somewhere that people not on boats that weekend are welcome to ‘drop in’.

Yes there is a car park there and you can walk down. Just remember  we are disappearing in the morning  sometime to do a c&c from Ranworth. You could get there early and get a ride on one of the boats.

I’ll have room on board…😎

[NeilB]

I'll have room onboard as well if any landlubbers want to join in with the CinC.

[Andrewcook]

One other question what time will they all start from Salhouse? 

[CambridgeCabby]

The C-in-C from Ranworth is I believe starting at 11:00 so would envisage leaving just before 10:00 

[Andrewcook]

Hi all looking at the Ten-day weather chart for May is looking good and beyond I hope to you all on this Parade Cruise
