What a fantastic summer! Reading postings on the Facebook page, hearing about new ventures and cruises, it seems that Members have enjoyed an excellent summer, despite the often inclement weather. Did this include you? If you had a fabulous summer - or even if you had some poor boating experiences - now is the opportunity to tell all the rest of us about it. The Autumn edition of Sweeping Statements, the Club's magazine for members, about members and written by members, will be published in November/December. The cut-off date for sending articles to the Editor is 31 October, so there is plenty of time for you to write up your summer boating stories, how you installed some new and perhaps exotic piece of kit, or maybe how you overcame adversity and still managed to make the summer cruise one to remember. Please send your stories, your articles and reminiscences to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Photographs always help a good article, so please send them too, in the highest resolution you can manage. Its your magazine, and it totally depends on members contributions, so don't be modest and get writing now.

Norwich to Yarmouth & Lowestoft Rail Line
Please note the following notice that has recently been drawn to my attention:
Swing Bridge Closure - 23rd March to 1st April.
Network Rail are delivering a signalling renewals project along the Norwich to Lowestoft railway line and will be undertaking signalling commissioning activities during a 9 day track blockade. Works will commence on Saturday 23 March through to Monday 1 April 2019.
During the first weekend (23 - 24 March) Reedham swing bridge will be under the control of the signalling tester in charge (TIC), this will require the swing bridge to be locked down in either the open or closed position depending on the testing activities being carried out. During this testing the bridge will be out of use to the river traffic users for a 12-18 hour period, this will be mostly over the night time period.
More detailed information will be shared as and when it becomes available, but vessels wishing to access under this bridge need to make advanced plans during this project.
Best wishes,
Robert Middleton
