In order to ring the changes a little I thought it might be nice to look for a different venue for our 2010 Owner's weekend, and am considering alternative hotels close to Brundall or Great Yarmouth. From comments received so far it seems that most people are happy with the format remaining roughly the same, combining a Saturday tour of the Broom factory with some evening entertainment and the AGM on the Sunday morning. Having had a couple of years on trip boats on the Broads there seems to be a preference to return to the popular members' boat cruises for the Saturday afternoon so, volunteers permitting, this will be the plan. I will also try to offer an additional activity for those wishing to arrive on Friday, and for those for whom the factory tour does not appeal. There continues to be some limited interest for a Sea Safety event, and there is the possibility that this could be organised at the Waveney River Centre, a riverside lodge park near Lowestoft, also accessible by boat with moorings available. It could be possible to organise a weekend event in March, with the option of lodge or boat accommodation for those who are interested. I would be grateful if you could post your comments on these suggestions with an indication of whether or not either of these events would be of interest.

 Mr and Mrs Broom have kindly invited members of the BOC to again join them on their boat show stand on Thursday 14th January 2010 for drinks and nibbles to celebrate another enjoyable year of Broom ownership.
The event will commence at 6.30pm and as numbers are limited, those wishing to attend should email me to book their place. Tickets for the show will be available from Brooms and details on how to receive these will be sent to all members directly at the beginning of December. Louise, National Events Organiser

Even a mini-tornado could not dampen the spirits of club members attending this year's BOC Norfolk weekend. The wet forecast for Friday proved to be unfounded and over 50 members turned up in the afternoon for the optional early arrival cruise, enjoying the generous hospitality of Eastern region members. A convivial dinner at the Oaklands Hotel welcomed the rest of the early arrivals and then on Saturday morning there was a record 77 members who arrived at Brundall for the factory visit. A victim of our own success, we have now outgrown Broom's reception area, but the ever-resourceful team decorated one of the sheds and turned it into a spacious reception area.

This year's Norfolk weekend will take place from 13th-15th November. Accommodation will be again at the Oaklands Hotel and there will be the usual range of accommodation options for those wishing to make a long weekend of it, including the option of arriving in time for dinner on the Friday evening. For those wishing to arrive on the Friday there will be an afternoon cruise arranged, hosted on Eastern Region members' boats, starting from Brundall. Saturday's programme will include a factory tour of the Brundall yard in the morning, followed by a cruise from Great Yarmouth on board the Southern Belle in the afternoon. In the evening we will have a dinner dance at the Oaklands hotel, with entertainment provided by local band, the Ugly Dog Skiffle Combo! On Sunday morning we will hold the club's AGM - your opportunity to have your say and put forward new ideas! Booking forms and more details will be sent out nearer the time - look forward to seeing you there!
