I have in my greasy little hand a yellow official receipt for £1179 in payment for Yarwood's first licence, a gold licence no less. We are off to the Fens again for the summer along with at least three other bloggers to my knowledge, NB's Matilda Rose, Seyella and RocknRoll.
However, the changes afoot as proposed by the Fat Controllers of the River Cam might throw a spanner in the works.... apparently the reciprocal agreement between the Environment Agency and the Cam Conservators, which would have permitted all of us Gold Licence holders to cruise the Cam, is about to be torn up. Now if I understand the ruling we will have to pay a further 15% of the EA licence, approximately £120 for passage on the Cam.
Ouch!
Make that 4!!!!
ReplyDeleteBlumin 'eck chuck - I'd missed that one
ReplyDeleteGive us a shout when you are going through the Middle Level and we may tag along for a bit.
ReplyDeleteWe are planning to do Cambridge before April.
It will be interseting to see where you have to buy the Cam licence from.

Hi Jill
ReplyDeleteYes, £122 extra, it makes for painful reading. I just wondered if the Cam FC'er was going to do anything about improving the visitor moorings?

Hi Brian
ReplyDeleteWill do. As for the licence...I saw nothing in the paper about where they planned for vistors to buy licences. It is a ridiculous state of affairs!
