Hockham Admiral Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 And one more thing! As LW is at 11.30 next Sunday we wondered if we might offer to take all you deep-draught guys to the New Inn for a couple of hours lunchtime drinks and a late breakfast? All you'd need would be an LSJ and some dosh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loribear Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 well it's not long now john til your meet, ive tried to order some nice weather for you all ,so lets hope it does stay nice for you, all day, been talking to my friends on fbook & one of them has said that he's seen an artic lorry going round the norfolk pubs to fill them back up for you, with me & my sister emptying them when we came on our hols, so there should be plenty of food for you all, , i hope you all have a really great time, lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you'd need would be an LSJ and some dosh! I got the LW bit (low water) but failed miserably on LSJ - Little Sailing Jacket/ Loose Show Jumper / Lead Swinging Jibber / Late Supper Juice.....! But whatever it means (subject to head and hubby) I'm sure we'll be up for that too. Looking forward to Saturday (order placed with George) ) SJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockham Admiral Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 Well it' s all over for another year! And what smashing weather it was for the last meet of the year! Some serious partying from Friday lunchtime to Sunday afternoon! 16 boats, 2 ribs and 1 car turned up and 42 of us sat down to what was one of the most entertaining nights we've attended! Sincere thanks to Natalie, George and Team for what was a beautifully prepared meal... Mary-Jane and I thought it was the best we've been to whilst onboard. Apart from one hireboat (an ECB member) and us (in Bathtubs) all the other boats were 'Salties' owned by East Coast Boating and Sealine Forum Members. So it was disappointing that so few of us were from the NBN. As we are not allowed to organise "Official" NBN functions then next year we will organise our own Spring/Summer/Autumn meets for the ECB and Sealine Forums. Members of the NBN will be welcome to attend. For those of you interested to see the pics/videos I expect Gav will publicise his on his own Net (East Coast Boating) and Luke on his (Sealine Forum).

mbird Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 A superb weekend indeed John, and thank you so much for organising it. The weather was kind to us, company excellent, and the venue superb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 I've just sent this message to Coldham Hall: "Natali & George, Hi from us all. A massive thank you to you and all your staff for your truly splendid achievements last Saturday. It was essentially the benchmark on which future such meets will be judged! On behalf of us all we sincerely hope you have a successful Winter and look forward to our next meet with you". John and Mary-Jane Redford (and the Salty Squadron)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jax 3 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Yes, a fantastic weekend. Once again well done John & Mary Jane and many thanks for the trip down to the New Inn at Rockland. The meal at Coldham Hall was excellent and George & Natalie surpassed themselves as usual. The Game Pie was lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members of the NBN will be welcome to attend. In fairness John, most of the boats attending are also members here, it is just that most don't post anymore for fear of upsetting those that feel sea boats should not be on the rivers and due to the way the suggestion of a spring meet was dealt such short shrift. It was a fantastic weekend and I would like to pass on mine and Heathers thanks for all the hard work you put into organising it to make sure everything worked perfectly right down to the weather.

loribear Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 hi senator, it's not that i don't think that you salties are not aloud on the river ,because i don't, you're aloud on the river as much as anyone else, it's just that seeing the other meet pictures of all you salties, just makes people like us hirers feel alittle uncomfortable turning up in a hire boat, & i know before you say anything john, that we're all welcome , it's just the way i & probably others see it, lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pks1702 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 All were welcome John made that clear at the outset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 All were welcome John made that clear at the outset Thanks for those words of wisdom! Lori, I'm surprised that you thought such. At the first meets we were the Salties, along with Gav and Annie, at Salhouse... all the others were in river boats, half hirers! We never felt excluded. We have always invited, and made most welcome, anyone to the meets. It's not as if the last "Official" meet (which Barry organised) was well attended, at Salhouse and the only four boats were entirely from the South! You turned up for an hour or so. I recall. Many thanks for all the kind messages we have received from so many folk. I now wish to close this thread before it becomes too personal. We enjoy organising Meets but we don't want the controversies they seem to bring up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
