ranworthbreeze · September 26, 2013

I have been told by one of our owners that the current tenants of the Waveney Inn leaving party is this Saturday there are rumours that the pub will be closed for refurbishment.

If anyone can confirm that this facility may be closed shortly it would be appreciated.

Regards

Alan

From the WRC Twitter account:

@WaveneyRiver: New managers Lynne & Neale at #WaveneyInn from Sunday - drop in to support them and help find their feet! Bar only from Sun, food from Weds.

I thought that was last weekend? Must be getting my dates wrong! I knew Nigel and Tracy were leaving at the end of September, but it's good to hear new tenants are waiting in the wings!

The leaving do was indeed last weekend and very busy it was. Nigel and Tracy actually move out this coming weekend, but didn't want to do it with a hangover hence the party last weekend. The new people are going to be managers, not tenants. With the changes that took place at the Waveney River Centre over the last 4-5 years many of the regular boaters and caravan owners departed. It was those regulars that still visited frequently in the Winter months that helped the pub to survive the quiet Winter period in the early years, with their departure the pub has been a lot quieter in recent Winters. Now that James is putting managers in situ maybe he will see the error of some of his policies with the approaching quiet season.

Was good to see a lot of the old crowd last weekend.

The grapevine suggests that James will indeed be busy with the toolkit and workman again this Winter, it never seemed to end when I was moored there, one of many reasons for leaving.

Nigel and Tracy are moving into another pub in Norfolk which for me will be a short detour on the way up to the boat. Whilst I don't think it is a secret where they are heading, I don't think it has been publicised either, so if anyone wants to visit them, then pm me for details.
