How's your winter been? How's your summer looking? How's that new bit of kit doing or even the new boat? The Spring edition of your Club magazine, Sweeping Statements is due for publication in April. All it lacks is that article telling us about a great cruise you did. You can guess what I mean. How about your boat name? We're running a series on boat names, and have already received some really good articles. So if you have an unusual boat name with a story behind it, why don't you let other club members know? The cut-off date is 31 March. Send your article by email, together with photographs in the highest resolution to me at This email address is being protected from spambots.

March 2021.
From the "Admiral"
I have decided to retire from my position as Regional Coordinator and as Club Vice-Chairman with effect from the AGM in October 2021. After three years in office, I feel it is time for a younger generation to run the affairs of the Region. My team and I are all in our mid-80s and we all agree that it is time for a change.
The question of the Vice Chairmanship is a matter for the main committee of the Broom Owners Club but the position of Regional Coordinator should be filled by a member of the region. If anybody is interested in taking up this role, please let me know. In order to ensure a smooth changeover, it would be preferable for the appointment of my successor to be sooner rather than later so that they may be included in the planning for 2022.
I should like to thank you all for the opportunity to serve you as your Regional Coordinator; Mary and I have enjoyed the experience immensely and we have had the opportunity to meet a large number of very interesting people and to forge new friendships.
Best Wishes to You All
Robert

The Good News!
The government's roadmap for unlocking the nation has pencilled in the date of 12 April 2021 as the date when overnight stays in self catering accommodation is permissible. This means that staying overnight on your boat will be possible from that date, subject, of course, to the government confirming this date in light of the then-existing situation with the Covid pandemic. We are still awaiting the update from the Broads Authority, who have not issued any further guidance; the guidelines currently on the Authority website is in respect of the national lockdown announced on the 6 January 2021 which currently remain in force.
