Catering Help Required
At the end of TMOR last year Ruth Thompson and many of her trusty team made the decision to hang up their TMOR aprons. No one could blame them, they have cooked and served TMOR brilliantly for so many years, they deserve to be the other side of the counter. Thank you!!
We have a new catering helm this year, Mike Jones.
We have been offered some support in this area but would not turn anyone away who could volunteer to help with food preparation, serving and clearing up.
It would be great to see some new faces!
Please contact
Calling all Home Bakers, we really need cakes!!

Important information to all participants
To ensure we run a safe event:
- For all racing competitors: Following some incidents on the water at TMOR last year, the Broads Authority have requested that racing craft are aware that ‘All hire and private motor boats have been asked to keep to the RIGHT HAND BANK for safety’. New signs will be displayed on all three approaches to our racing course. Hirers may have only just picked up their hire cruiser for the weekend so please allow them to keep to the right hand bank.
- PLEASE MOOR ONLY IN THE LOCATIONS SUGGESTED IN THE MOORING SECTION BELOW and follow the guidance and restrictions outlined. Thank you.
- Regrettably THIS YEAR THERE IS TO BE NO CAMPING or SLEEPING IN VEHICLES ON THE CAR PARKING FIELD– Please try to find a berth on a boat or contact other local campsites. Car parking is by kind permission of the landowners. Please always treat their land with respect and follow signs for parking.
- For ease of access to boats moored between the Marquee and Thurne Dyke, paths have been cut. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ADDITIONAL PATHS IN THE REEDBED,so as not to disturb nesting birds and other wildlife. PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW YOUR CHILDREN TO PLAY IN THE REEDBED for the same reason.
- Please always use the handrail when using the bridge to and from the car park and toilets, and take care when using it. Children should be supervised when using the bridge and should not play on or around it.
- No dogs allowed in the marquee at any time and should be under control when near the marquee.
- After dark, please take extreme care due to surrounding dykes / marshes.
- Remember to adhere to the speed limits on the water.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION

The options for mooring at TMOR are:

We would advise that you do not jump from your boat to the reed bed due to the uneven and boggy surface, please step down carefully. Paths have been cut for ease of access. NO ADDITIONAL PATHS ARE TO BE MADE IN THE REED BED PLEASE in order to protect nesting birds and other wildlife.
PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW YOUR CHILDREN TO PLAY IN THE REEDBED FOR THE SAME REASON. - The quay headed South Walsham bank of the Bureupstream of the Starting Line at Thurne Mouth.
