Off buggering about on Thames this weekend with our 3.2M inflatable and outboard. On the EA anglian region we get 2 x 7 day periods reciprocal with the Thames region, our licence is about 4" x 5" in a self sealing sticky envelope, ideal to stick to windows or transoms. Gets in touch with the EA Thames region to sort visitors licence - so far so good, times short so they promised to email it over for me to print out. I was expecting the same size licence, cos, well, they are the EA and everything will be the same won't it? Surely? Nope, prints it off and I gets a fricking great landscape A4 sheet that would be fine in a window.... Oh well, laminate, gaffa tape job sorted  |

Don't bother to display it, my Thames licence was just two pieces of paper and although I stuck them to the windows with masking tape they soon fell off due to damp and I just put them on a shelf somewhere, nobody seemed bothered that I didn't have them on display.

We haven't got a shelf to put it on either Not decided where to chuck it in yet, either the Swan at Radcot or the Trout at Lechlade, needs to by a pub so the women's who won't get in are catered for. |

Just so long as you've got them somewhere in case some jobsworth asks then you should be ok. Not done that section of the Thames but I didn't see any CRT-type towpath enforcement, you might be asked if you go through a lock but I don't imagine you would be the first visitor in this situation.

I reckon the Broads Authority have got it right, their Tolls Plaque is sort of paper-ish and self adhesive, sticks to anything and survives stuck to the bows, one plaque per side, likewise RIBs and inflatables'. They are a different colour each year so it's easy to spot if out of date even from a distance.

I guess the cwdf licence displaying swot team are more likely to be the problem |

Always keep your balls and your brains with you. At all times. I mean always.
