Where there’s muck – there’s brass.  Well that’s what they say up north and we won’t argue with that.  We are delighted that 3 of our fantastic business supporters, all small family owned businesses, are now providing a small donation from each boat “pump out”.    Please use them for your “pump outs” in the knowledge that not only are you being provided with excellent service but you are also helping the Broads to remain special from your donation.  Thank you to:

We are very grateful to the wonderful Norwich Community Choir and St Helen’s Church (Cathedral of the Broads) at Ranworth for an amazing concert dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II on Saturday 24th September.  All proceeds were kindly donated to Love the Broads.   What truly magical songs, music and poetry were performed by the Choir and the audience loved every minute.
