Eastern Seals Launching Dinner

Royal Norfolk and Suffolk Y C, Lowestoft, Sat 24 March 2012

Once again we meet up in the bar a Lowestoft at lunchtime, this time to go and indulge in a little local history in Great Yarmouth. Nelson was a Norfolk man, and we visit the Nelson Museum on the South Quay – just downstream of the Coast Guard office. Then recover at the Royal Norfolk & Suffolk Y C, for a full dinner in the best winter setting I know.

How to get there

The RN&SYC is a white Victorian building, in the middle of town, south of the town centre and just south of the harbour lifting bridge. Free Car Park; vehicle gates at side; say ‘Parker & Seal Sailing Association’ when Entryphone answered.

For directions, see this page on their website (directions half way down), or train to Lowestoft, and some 200 yards south, across the bridge.

The Nelson Museum: Follow the A12 North, cross Breydon water and turn right into town; first right at next roundabout – North Quay – and follow riverside on to South Quay (after Yarmouth Way). Parking just beyond it.
