[Jim]

Hi Julz,

Do we know yet just how many of us will be arriving by boat?

Jim

[Brian]

About 8 Jim. at last count up.

[Julz]

Hi Jim, 6 boats requiring a mooring at this morning's count up, including Curlew, who we are still awaiting confirmation that her work will be finished in time to attend

Plenty of peeps now arriving to the Staithe by car, I think i will have to reserve a catering staff place near to the gazebo for the BBq food delivery lol

[Jim]

Thanks Brian/Julz

[Happy Jax 3]

We will be arriving at Womack at approximately 11am Saturday. I Hope we can get on the Staithe as we have the animals with us, Buddy and Hobbit will also be there

Roy I will have the VHF on, call us up when you are on your way Happy Jax 2.

I don't think you'll have a problem at 11am on Saturday Col, as it is usually quite empty at that time. A fortnight ago there were only three boats there until about lunchtime.

[Springsong]

I cannot make the Saturday, but would love to attend Sunday by car, food is not a necessity for me.

I look forward to seeing you all.

[Julz]

Hi Barry, i look forward to meeting you on Sunday, and your very welcome to some food, we have a fairly broad menu on offer and there should be something to suit most tastes

Julz

[Happy Jax 3]

That's great Barry look forward to seeing you at Womack.

Hi all

Just to let those arriving by boat know, I have spoken to Darren at DRL Marine this evening, and he is happy for all members boats to moor on his quayheading. Most of his fleet is out, so there will be enough space for us all. For a small fee I am sure the shore power could be negotiated if required.

See you tomorrow!

[Brian]

Good to hear you can make it Barry, will be good to see you again and catch up

Hi Mark

Reserve us a hook up if you can. Of course if it is ok with Darren.

Looking forward to catching up tomorrow.

I need to scrounge a bowl of warm water with a squirt of wash up liquid off one of you boaty peeps please, its to wash our hands in on the Food serving counter thanks

I got a bowl in my boot!

[Julz]

Brian, I forgot to mention that you may be better setting up the NBN BBQ camp behind the private moorings area on the staithe, where there is less overhang and debris falling from the trees right now, as they start to shed leaves and seeds for the winter

Im still clearing silver birch seeds out of the caravan from last time we were down, they get into every nook and cranny possible, and are probably not so tasty as Burger Relish!

Julz

[Brian]

Ill have a site meeting there later this afternoon, i can provide induction training for all those helping out also.

I have lots of Hi Vis Jackets in my truck

[Julz]

Well im now just having a sit down and a cuppa after doing a tour of the shops to buy the goodies for the bash this morning

I have got everything we wanted, did battle once more with the Asda Jobsworth on the door over having a couple of boxes for the bread rolls, I won! and the burgers are sitting nicely in the appartment's fridge, along with the chicken, sausages, and other goodies thanks to the very nice receptionist who let us in at 1.30pm, when we should not have had the keys until 4ish

We have got aprons for the cooks Brian, dont think i need a High-vis vest Ta!

I hope you got hard hats to go with them incase anyone gets hit on the head by an acorn down there!

Cya tonight,

Julz

[Guest]

I may be there for a short while tonight as I have to take Daphne to Norwich.

If I do come then I will bring a couple of 3" dia TIDE CLOCKS if any one is interested.

They will need something like a piece of wood with a 3" hole cut into it to mount it.

They run off a AA battery and show both High and Low tides each 12hours 25 mins.

Opps! Forgot the picture

[Julz]

Thanks Paul, thats very kind of you

I think they have all gone off down to the staithe now, and left me dongleing on my own on here till tonight

hope to see you later,

Julz
