Beccles carnival is to go ahead this year after all, despite organisers' earlier fears that last year's debts would put the event in jeopardy.

It will be a two-day event at Beccles Quay on August 29-30, instead of the previous three-day extravaganza.

The date of the event has also been moved from July after clashing with other large festivals in the area. A webside will be online soon with details of the event.

More details to follow as the programme of events are finalised. See events page for contact details to obtain tickets for evening entertainment. 

January 22nd
It was reported on the BBC that the Broads Authority has started legal action against Network Rail
because of the on-going problems encountered by boaters; you will be aware of the many breakdowns last summer causing long delays for many of us,
not least Oulton swing bridge which only operated a limited service all season when repairs overran by months.
Trowse swing bridge has been completely out of action for months and Reedham and Somerleyton bridges got stuck closed  on several occasions when the sun did come out.
These problems have caused inconvenience and spoilt weekends for countless boaters.
We can only hope that this action will be successful and Network Rail will live up to their responsibilities,
giving us a trouble free 2009 season. Lets hope so.

This season we really are going to make an effort to put together a calendar, please please please send your photo's action shots, landscapes, seascapes not forgetting comedy moments (normally plenty of those)
