Anyone contemplating the South to North Breydon crossing to go to Salhouse for the July meeting, the tide times are very favourable, see screenshot below

It's great how Derek can even organise the tides....

King Canute doesnt have a patch on me !! 

Actually this was the last thing l had in mind when setting the date, so pure good luck   
( By chance the North to South crossing for Beccles weekend ain't too bad either.)

Note: the tide tables used are from a link at the bottom of the

Need some help gang,trying to work out logistics for Salhouse meet,need to get Liz back for work on the Monday,so my question is,what is the journey time from Salhouse to Yarmouth yacht station?to catch slack water at 14.11 to cross over back to St.Olaves
Marek & Liz

Marek, it's about 5.30 hrs from Wroxham to Gt Yarmouth YS, so Salhouse is nearer, say 5 hrs , but l would allow 6 hrs to be safe. So to catch the 14.11 Breydon slack water on Sunday you need to leave Salhouse at 08.00 ish,  No later than 08.30 !! ( No stops allowed in this calculation)

This table is useful for running times .

Thank you Derek,I'll give it some thought

Beccles is now done, time to turn our attention to the next meet on the program, Salhouse 

Only two months to go !! So get yourself booked in on the 2019 EVENTS tab at the top of the page,  if you haven't already done so. I will reminder email past participants who don't frequent the Forum or Facebook. I need to give the Ranger numbers ASAP.

Moorings may be limited due to previous success of this venue.

"Salhouse secret bran tub "again and themed dress (suggestions please) are the highlights at the event, Pat has suggested dress to suit your boat year of production ( there will be a lot of 70's flares !!)

For anyone taking a boat that’s not from the Broads, we recently found this list of Cassette toilet disposal points and petrol sales.

https://www.broads-authority.gov.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/418337/APPX-9-Boatyard_Marina-Refuelling-Installations.pdf

It’s not completely up to date as the Waveney River Centre no longer sell petrol

SALHOUSE BOOKING

Once again Salhouse have changed their pre booking method !

As organiser l am expected to pay a 20% deposit, which l will , based on 18 expected boats ( at present) . The remainder will need to be paid, not sure if by  me prior or at the event. I will update.

I can adjust the number booked online, but really need definite  numbers very soon.
The cost in round figures is £10 per night per boat, short stay will have to be pot luck at the daily rate on the day. (Dick Turpin)

So please if you haven't already , please fill in the registration form at the top of the Forum page under 2019 Events.

To secure the whole of 'The Hill' mooring (95M, c.24 boats)  under the new Salhouse block booking method we need 22 boats paying the full £20 for two nights, we are nearly there with about 17 staying the whole weekend ( 4 or 5 have booked for the day or just one night). We should make it as l have 8 possible still to  respond !
The alternative is too hire 3/4 of the length (71M, c. 18 boats) which may be a bit cramped !

Once l have the finite figure l will pay the required 20%  deposit and then email everyone to pay  ME prior to the event. This all sounds complicated but it shouldn't be if people pay their dues !

Another boat registered ...Thistledew

To expand on my previous post please read the following:

I do have a bit of an issue with the Salhouse new group booking system, in the past we have paid individually for what we wanted, this year they have implemented a system where I have to book a length of mooring pay a 20% deposit and fit the boats in. At present I think we would need the full length (95 M) which will cost £220 per 24 hrs (ie a total £440 for the two nights)
We have a total of 22 boats booked so far. At £10 per night x 2 nights x 22 boats we cover the total, but with some only wanting a 24hr stay or just a day, we could fall short, we could have some no shows ....... we might even have a couple more bookings.
I would like to think that if necessary all  participants pay a little over the odds so we can cover the total cost, Unfortunately I can't give a precise figure,it will depend on the final numbers, but I hope it will be no more than £3 (If a surplus is made, I will donate it to a charity)


There are a couple of boats to date asking for side on,unfortunately this will cost more than the £10/24 hrs to pay for the extra mooring length required


I trust the above is acceptable to those coming.

Copied this from my Facebook post.
It gives the amount each participant will need to pay me before the event. (l will individually email my bank details).
If anything is incorrect please let me know in the next few days as l will be paying the 20% deposit next week and the balance prior to the event. Hope this is all clear and ok with you.
 Thankyou
(@Simritdave ), if you are arriving Thursday as per your Cognito registration, you will need to pay for Thursday night separately yourself)

I have paid the deposit of £88  to secure the whole length of the mooring we have used in the past, and will pay the balance of £352 before the event so do not pay Salhouse direct
I will send out individual emails with the amount to pay and the method of payment so please wait until you receive my email.

I have copied the balance sheet again at the start of the post.

The amount to pay above depends on everyone paying their billed amount as a minimum ( if any surplus is collected it will be donated to a charity)  

 Finally can l stress the point, any non payments will effect the total and presumably have to come out of my pocket !!

As l will be paying for the total length of the mooring any Freeman's not booked are welcome ( if we have room). Payment will be to me, any excess going to an agreed charity. 

Emails requesting payment for Salhouse sent today to people attending,  please check your inbox and do the right thing 
 

Thanks you to the guys and gals that have paid me for their mooring at Salhouse already. Just four or five I'm still waiting on now, I will  pay the balance at the beginning of July. 

All monies received  Thanks

 Balance of £352 paid today and personal emails sent to all paid up participants, Check your Inbox/Spam folder ? Any Freeman owners in the area are welcome to join us as long as there is room ! Fees will be due to myself, any surplus going to an agreed charity

Just two weeks to go !
Good probability that we will be joined by Keith and Janet( hope I've got that right) with F26 April Fool.
Still room for more just message me first
Final reminder about the 'Bran Tub' Saturday night, read about it in earlier posts. Fancy dress decided optional, so use your imagination if partaking !
