Possible seaside trips when we visit Leiston
.
Possible seaside trips with overnight stay when we travel to Leiston
Aldeburgh is a small seaside resort only five miles away from Leiston. Wentworth Hotel looks a reasonably size and probably expensive but might be reasonable if we visit in wintertime.
Southwold is only 14 miles away but is an expensive resort
Lowestoft is 24 miles away and there are plenty of hotels there
Great Yarmouth probably has the biggest choice of hotels if we don’t mind a 54 minute journey
Leiston to Aldeburgh 5 miles, 11 minutes Wentworth Hotel
Leiston to Southwold 14 miles, 25 minutes
Leiston to Lowestoft 24 miles, 38 minutes Victoria Hotel
Leiston to Great Yarmouth 33 miles, 54 minutes Bay Carlton Hotel

Re: Possible seaside trips when we visit Leiston
.
A few things need sorting well in advance :
Need to find a hotel who will accept a large party (Probably in Lowestoft or Great Yarmouth)
Presumably two buses going , one for overnighters and one for those coming back after the game.
Need quote from bus company for return journey including overnight stay.
Need to get a rough idea of total cost per per person before asking how many people are interested . Maybe separate hotel costs for summer and winter )
Need enough people interested to keep the bus cost per person down
Need to know numbers interested so we know how many rooms are required and we're ready to act when fixtures come out. ( If Leiston visit is in August, or September - not much time to organise)
Presumably wives/ partners/ families can go and singles need pairing up

Re: Possible seaside trips when we visit Leiston
Its nearly an hours drive from Great Yarmouth to Leiston but Great Yarmouth and maybe Lowestoft are the only places that might be able to cater for the large Ilkeston Town support!

Re: Possible seaside trips when we visit Leiston
There is a Premier Inn at Felixstowe and it is only 30 mins from Leiston so that might be another option.
