The team are planning to celebrate the NBN's 2nd Birthday this year with a meet up and Pub evening at the Kings Arms Ludham, on Sat 19th September at 7.30pm

The theme will be Pirates as we have been informed that its national 'Talk like a Pirate' day on that day, and there will be a prize for the best dressed and impressions :

There will be bar meals on sale, and we are still negotiating for further attractions, so please watch this space for future announcements

A NBN forum Birthday cake will be lit and shared out between the members attending

Moorings will be available on Womack water, and at the bridge in Ludham, with a lift possible for anyone up to the pub on the evening from the bridge stores (bookable by pm)

There may also be an event on the Sunday lunchtime at Womack, if enough people sign up

Everyone is welcome to sign up and join us for this event

Any further Ideas for adding to the fun, and im all Ears lol Just pm them to me for further discusion

Edited to add that we have now gained permision form the trustees of Womack Staithe to hold a big NBN forum BBq and Sunday lunch time meet on the 20th, the day after the Birthday Bash, more details to follow later

A big Thankyou to all concerned for arranging the permisions and to the trustees for generously allowing us to do this

Unfortunatly we will just miss this, we are down all that week but have to travel home on the Saturday for work on Sunday

Dont know yet if we will have a new mooring up the northern end or still down south either.

The Big Green Cruising machine should be there all being well!

If you have tent or caravan there are a couple of places very nearby. Failing that I suspect the nearest hotel would be the Swan in Horning (5 min taxi ride) unless there are any B&B's in Ludham. I'll keep my eyes open next time I am there.

Sorry i've not said anything for a while but i've been on a shopping trip to Milan with my mum and auntie for a few days. We bought some lovely new clothes and shoes for a friends wedding. Anyway i've just raed this and am really disappointed coz this meet you are having is on the day we go home so we won't be able to come. Shame coz it looks like it might have been fun.

[Guest]

Unfortunately it is looking like being at the end of the worst week possible for SWMBO as we had been looking into the possibility of attending by boat but that isn't going to happen. So it'll probably be just me, and by car, but better that than miss it altogether.

[Jim]

Count us both in Julz

We will be there this time!!!

[Julz]

Just a bit of an update on this one for all you lovely people

We will now be running a 2009 NBN prize draw competition, with tickets on sale from Mid August, further details to follow once we have finalised our list of Super Prizes

The draw for the winners will then take place in the Kings Arms Ludham, on the Night of the Birthday Bash Meet, with proceeds going towards site funds

We have had 21 people (Adults, but young ones welcome too) sign up for this meet so far, so it looks like being a good night out to be had by all, and hopefully we may get a few more people able to sign up and join us nearer the time

We are down on the broads for 10 days in September, so we may be able to catch up with you and Olive later in the week if you are back in time, otherwise we will be down for several weeks next year, both North and South based hopefully and will be setting up a few NBN meet opartunities then
