Get your Norfolk Week & Hunstanton entry in quick

[gerry ledger]

I'm number 5
It may be a long time Jane but I bet you have'nt fogotten it, but we won't mention that. Crabs on holls that week, going to Hullbridge.

Got ours too, number 8 and two chalets pretty close to Team Roly Mo in 'C' block.
Strongly suspect that we will have four crabbers in our party, although having taken James and Rory crab fishing in Walberswick (the home of British crab fishing) I have to say that their attention span is a little short! 
When do we find out what is happening about the Jennie Lee?
My last NWNW must have been in a pretty similar year Jane, but i can remember them all fondly.... flooded tent, friendly folk at BSSC and all...

RM once had a Walberswick crabbingfest T shirt . . .   We won't mention what it said on it for fear of offence!
I will try and find out what I can about the Jenny Lee.  This reminds me I must pay our OSSC subs . . .

Telephoned David Baddeley to ask about our entry for the weekend at Hunstanton.  Hunstanton SC is giving priority to those attending the whole of NWNW, we shall be told in July if our entry is accepted!  That will make it difficult to book accommodation or camp site for the Saturday night (free camping at Snettisham might be possible?).  We shall have to plan to attend at least 4 other Gill events in order to be sure of qualifying.  It hardly makes this an "open" event if entry is restricted to those who can spare a whole week (one reason for shortening Burton Week).

how will this effect the gill series?
if some people are not able to enter the weekend?

Be assured that he N12 Committee are well aware of the problems re Hunstanton / inclusion in the Gill Series.  It was resolved at a meeting last weekend that if there is an incidence of people being unable to attend due to the entry requirements it will not form part of the 2009 Gill Series which is quite clearly an Open Event.  At the moment this is a bit of wait and see which I appreciate is not an ideal situation.  I note your comments regarding accommodation which I realise are important.

Good to see such a large 12 contingent, but sad to see the Ents in single figures - they used to be a huge fleet.

[OMSC]

it is the same week as the ent nationals, so that would explain the lack of numbers from them.
