18th February Meal and Mardle – Everyone thoroughly enjoyed a lovely evening with an amazing spread, and meeting other members. Feeling stuffed, and relaxed after one of our best socials ever.

Was just £7.50, at the Norwich Tennis and Squash Club.

The best turn out we have had for quite a while and reflects the extra activity at the Club this year: Introduction of  Training Courses, extremely popular come and try day, more new members, Quay side and Changing room maintenance, professional training course, renewal of RYA instructors, BBQ, Fun day, and of course the work to try to secure our Beach for future generations.

Good to see founder members, regulars, and new members there too.

Lovely and Warm, with some very strong gusts, especially at the Southern buoy, resulted in some very challenging racing. Martin was given an unprecedented 3 minute handicap, for sailing his picnic table! Olympians galore…loads of gold, silver and bronze medals given away at the annual Fun Day.

Results. Tennis Relay: 1st (Philip and Neil), 2nd (Martin and JT), 3rd (Carl and Dave).

Slalom Ladies Gold (Wendy), Children Slalom Gold (Byony), Silver (William), Mens Gold (tied -Philip, Martin), Silver (tied Dave, Carl), Bronze (tied-Neil D, Neil W, Chris).

It isn’t often we have a world class windsurfing Pro at the Broad. Here are class 2016, looking confident and preparing for the 100th gybe/helli tack/fast tack of the day. We will definitely be inviting Simon Bornhoft back next year!

The re-schedule for 15 Oct was cancelled due to a poor weather forecast. Ironically, the weather turned out to be perfect! Apologies for any inconvenience.

The free SUP taster planned on the 7th August has had to be cancelled due to high winds. Steve from the Norfolk Paddle Board Co has re-scheduled for 15 October 10am to 1pm. Access will be from the Pleasure Boat.

No need to book, just turn up. First come first served.
