Notes
The main limiting factor on the pontoon is the distance between the fingers. This means that owners of narrow boats may appear to get preference over owners of slightly wider boats.

Parking at the Staithe is limited to the Reedcutter car park. Please observe any restrictions and treat the personnel at the Reedcutter with respect.

In order to meet our expected running costs the mooring fees are likely to be between £300 and £400 pa.

Please note that a mooring is not for life. The Trustees will determine the allocation of all mooring annually in the light of demand and any other criteria deemed relevant.

The Trustees decision is FINAL

These rules were adopted at the first meeting of the Cantley Staithe Charitable Association on 15.06.10
