Decorated Dinghies
The Decorated Dinghies attracted 12 entries, ranging from this summer’s sports – the Ashes and the Murray/Djokovic tennis match – , some well drilled Vikings, well greened Jumblies, well provisioned Teddy Bears’ picnic, a well wild Yarmouth bunch,  to a glimpse of the Queen and new member of a Royal Family.

Parents and grand parents had shown their creativity with cardboard, and the children taking part showed great patience during the judging!

Susan Hayles, Mary Hayles: Harbour Sports 1940s, 1950s

My father, Harold Hayles was on the Carnival Committee for many years, so my sisters Mary, Chris and Sally and I were always very involved.
We really looked forward to Carnival Week, as we still do now. Squeak and I practised the pair oared rowing for weeks and we entered all the events. All the money we won was spent at the Fair. Sue Russell nee Hayles b 1940

For passing the 11+ I was bought a dinghy, a proper clinker one. We desperately practised rowing for weeks ready for the harbour sports. The ladies’ race went right out round the buoy off the pier. It was our chance to earn money for when the funfair came. I don’t think I ever tried the greasy pole – it was stuck out from one of the army boats in the harbour and dipped right down at the end. Mary Lord nee Hayles b 1936

Sue Russell: Early days

When I was a baby we lived on a boat called ‘Westo’ in the harbour opposite the Boatyard.

When Mary was old enough to go to school we moved to Fernlea in Mill Road and there we stayed until I was about 20. I remember our friends used to come for their baths as we had a large cast iron one and they didn’t have one in their houses. Sue Russell nee Hayles b 1940
