Always a very pleasant event. No mention of the usual and always excellent firework display or the traditional fair though.

Oulton Broad fireworks & gala day:

Without question the biggest & best firework display on the Broads.

Not quite up to the standard of the London Olympics but being out on the water does add to the fun of the Oulton Broad fireworks. Best book your moorings at the Yacht Station NOW otherwise you'll need to mudweight out in the Broad, not that that is a problem.

So this is why hire boat companies started asking people not to mud weight?

Have they? Not heard that one before.

Nor had I until I was asked not to on a hand over 4-5 years ago... I did suspect at the time it was because they had not put a sufficient length of line on the mud weight on that particular boat. But then someone else said they had been told not to mud weight by a different company... I did then hire another boat from yet another company who made no such request but they were more up-market...
