Please Note: Although at this year's Powditch Gathering the Boat Trip to see the
Seal Colony at Blakeney Point was not not part of the event's weekend
- (due to the time of the high tide not being until approx' 3.00pm) -
anyone staying in the area and still wishing to have a Seal Trip was invited to contact
www.beansboattrips.co.uk and book their seats direct.
|
The Committee reserved the right to alter the programme as necessary. Unfortunately, due to disastrous fire at 'The Anchor' a couple of weeks
before the Gathering, parts of the programme's timing plus the venue for
our Evening Meals had to be altered.
