Sun shines on the Water Conservatives !

41 of us, including guests, got together at West Runton for the 'Cromer Weekend ' from Friday 13 to Sunday 15th July. It was  a difficult start for some folk as the weather was awful and there was a bad accident which closed the A11. But we all made it in time for a very jolly evening. Next day was altogether different and a cloudy start turned into a warm, sunny day. We did all sorts of things - bird watching ( during which some rare spoonbills were seen ) , rambling ,  golfing , photographing ,going on the preserved railway to Holt, and visting stately homes , Cromer , Sheringham , Holt , Norwich and of course a crabbing competition( two crabs caught, but four crab cakes eaten !).  After another splendid  meal ,we all went to the End of Pier Show in Cromer for a lovely evening and lots of laughter . And herein lies the mysterious tiltle . We had arranged to be welcomed by the compere as the Water Conservators, but he got it wrong and described us as  the Water Conservatives !!!!!!!!

Sunday was another beautiful day and we dispersed or stayed on for seal trips , more stately home visits or even the odd glass of Pimms. We all enjoyed ourselves with this mini holiday, but we thought of absent friends particularly one or two who had to pull out because of health problems. We all hope that you recover soon .

Thanks to everyone for coming , particulary those who had to drive for serveral hours each way
With a bit of luck you should find some photos on the website .
