Ok, I know it's hardly the most convenient of locations but bear with me.....

Shelley is visiting Norfolk in August so we're planning to meet up for a day on the seafront, thinking crazy golf (pirate crazy golf in Yarmouth is the best crazy golf in the world!), the snail ride at JoyLand (scariest kiddies ride in the world!), doughnuts, chips, candyfloss, sandcastles and all sorts of fun seaside stuff!

Now, if the two of us are going to be there it's already a meet up so we thought we'd extend it out to anyone else who would like to some along and join us for some good old seaside fun.

I know Great Yarmouth is an absolute pain to get to for many of you (although we do have some East Anglia locals around on here too) but it would be great if some of you can make it.....!

(I do have sofa bed space for a couple of people so may be able to help out some of you (that I know!) if you're looking at making the journey.....)

Excellent, hope you can make it!!

(Yeah, it had to be mid week to fit it in, another issue to go alongside the location thing 😉 )
 
I'm in (hopefully). Can't see it being a problem at this moment in time, so it's all good 🙂

So sorry re the midweek...its my fault!!! The 17th August is also the day after my birthday so feel free to bring me presents everyone 🙂 x x x
 
also the bennetts have a collection of spades so are well up for the sandcastle building 🙂 x x x

(I am always in GY for a week for a family hol every august hence you may well get to meet my family!)
 
Possibly, depends on getting annual leave though. I was near to there on Sunday and took a couple of hours, that was in a mini bus though.
 
Will bear it in mind - no idea my work situation in August yet, though.

The snails! They go really (!) fast with sudden turns and hills, as a child I was convinced I was going to crash every time!

Loving all the yeses and possibles so far! Shelley discovered today that there are fireworks on the seafront that night too, especially for us of course!!

the tubs and the snails are pretty unique rides! it's amazing how they've squeezed so much into such a teeny area!
 
i could possibly go to some relative of mine and get a bus in, or just walk in haha!
back to my home town :D
 
sounds good to me my daughter works at weatherspoons at Gt Yarmouth I will ask if she can get staff discount on food for us all (don't hold your breath though)
 
Hope everyone has a nice time not long to go now.......
