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!

Important information to all participants

To ensure we run a safe event: 

  • For all racing competitorsFollowing 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.

Mooring

Moorings this year are limited so please moor carefully and considerately.

The options for mooring at TMOR are:

  • The EACC site frontage
  • Thurne Dyke either side
  • River reed bank between the marquee and the private moorings before Thurne Dyke. 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.


Regrettably THIS YEAR THERE IS TO BE NO MOORING ON THE FORMER 24 HOUR MOORINGS at Boundary Farm, downstream of the Marquee.

If using a tender, please be considerate when mooring near the marquee.

     

Please do NOT use the floating pontoons during the day as this is used for safety boats.

Please email Liz -  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and indicate what times you are volunteering for and if you are happy to helm / or crew. It would be useful if you can provide a mobile contact number which will be shared with the OODs and Race Control. This is for safety reasons as a backup form of contact in case we have any issues with the radios during the weekend.

If you have your own buoyancy aid that would be great, but we do have some available if required. Please ensure you have suitable clothing for the weather (including sunscreen etc if needed). We are asking people to try and turn up 5-10 minutes before their allotted time and report to race control.

Also needed 3 guard boats for Cock of the Broads to be positioned by the marks. Monday from 11.00 until 14.30 (roughly).
