desperately seeking accomadation for saturday night,nr Oulton broad,can anyone help? |
Have you tried Royal Norfolk & Suffolk? Otherwise, I can only suggest going to Lowestoft before racing and going up and down the seafront looking for vacancies. |
Royal Norfolk& Suffolk YC aka The Royal Nobs and Snobs,+44 (0)1502 566726 very good acomodation, parking for cars limited, and a warm welcome, Vice Commodore Norman Blowers is a former Merlin sailor. Just South of the swing bridge horrendous one-way system, Lowestoft Traffic Wardens learned from Goebbels!, fabulous two clubs RN&SYC & WOBYC at Oulton Broad unless it's been widened the gate is a bit narrow for a modern MR! Beer in both clubs 1st class. Really should be more popular as a joint meeting, beware its shallow in the North Bay of Oulton Broad where there has been a mini minor as a result of motor racing on the ice in the winter of 1962-3! |
Thank you very much for your help,we've managed to find somewhere(by the skin of our teeth).I've just repaired my plate following a grounding the other day so I'll definitely look out for any minor obstructions. |
Enjoy it's a super place. |
Looking forward as we have never been before. |
You'll know by now but I've seen dogs in RN&SYC off the lead even, and WOBYC is in a public (Nicolas Everitt) park so I gues the usual pooper-scooper rules apply. |
Thanks. We went today. WOBYC don't allow dogs in the compound, but the park is fine on a lead. |

Any one got a car trailer or A frame, so I can get Mark's car back from deepest essex? |
Alan, |
I have done some research and it isn't legal to tow an unbraked trailer that weights over 750kg. You can only use a bar/ a-frame / dolly / towrope to recover a broken down car to a safe location. http://www.ntta.co.uk/faq/default.htm |
Almost worth joining the AA they rigid bar towed my sons car from Cambridhe to Chipping Campden all free its only £36.00 a year for all the family. |
You obviously have great purchasing power, AA Family Cover with basic 'Relay' including the 15% online discount shows up at £131. |
Glad you've cracked it been members of the AA as a family since 1930! I've obviously inherited grand pa and pa's subs! |
A bit of shameless promotion, but any one with a bit of time could pick up a bargain from our misfortune. Will give you the full warts and all history if you are interested in bidding http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4572368912&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1 |
shameless indeed! that's almost as bad as sticking an RS add in the boats for sale! |
At least it was towing a Merlin when it self destructed! |
