Only the one from Wibblers? That's very disapointing ;)

Good luck with it, S.

I remember a family holiday we had years ago on a boat on the Norfolk Broads. While we were mooring in strong currents at Reedham she failed to let go of the rope at the crucial moment and fell in the water. Luckily, she kept on clinging to the rope till we fished her out. She didn't speak to me for about 2 hours afterwards. :lol:

A very nice one it was, too, Phil. I have the rest in a polypin at home!

It was a good event, despite the weather. We got through about 25 different beers from the list. Hopefully from small things...

Jim - maybe next year you can arrange a repeat visit (I'll try to remember to post a bit earlier). Keep herself high and dry this time. I have to say I've never been tempted to test the river at Reedham myself. Brrr.

Well you paid me so I guess it must have been okay!

Glad it went well though. Are you coming to the Flocculation in Aug or GBBF?
