SUMMER CRUISE

Friday 11th  –  Sunday 13th August

Cruise leaders: Mike & Sally Jones

 

A reminder to let Mike or Sally know before the end of July if you intend to join us for this summer (Cocktail) cruise

 

The inaugural EACC summer weekend cruise is shortly upon us.

The plan is to meet up on Friday evening the 11th August at the club mooring for those who wish to.  We would aim to depart the moorings around 10.30 and head for Wroxham.  The tide does not really favour us but we have all day to get to the moorings above Wroxham railway bridge aiming to arrive by about 5pm.  We do not have reserved moorings but there is normally plenty of room further towards the Coltishall end.

After a quick wash and brush up, we will catch the 18.00 train to Gunton.  Dressed up in smart dress for the men and the option of Cocktail dresses for the ladies (sorry gents, ladies only) we will alight the train at Gunton and walk across the road to The Suffield Arms for Cocktails (other mainstream drinks are available). We will have dinner from their extensive Tapas style menu before returning to Wroxham on either the 20.15 or 21.32.  Dogs are welcome both on the train and also in the Suffield Arms.

After a leisurely breakfast, we will have time for a sail on Wroxham broad/Black horse broad before returning to the moorings with the benefit of the afternoon tide.

Bookings - As Saturday night is a busy night at The Suffield Arms, we cannot have exclusive use of their cocktail lounge.  They can however accommodate us elsewhere either inside or outside (if nice and hot) so long as I pre-book with numbers attending.  No bookings are required for food as they are confident in their kitchen being able to cope.

If you would like to join us for this alternative cruise, you will need to let cruise leaders Mike & Sally Jones (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) know by Sunday 30th July please.  Also let me know if you will be joining us on Friday evening for self-service BBQ). You are advised to pre book your train tickets (current return price £5.80 per person) and blow the cobwebs off those cocktail dresses!
