As Local History Group
Organisers for the Rayleigh U3A, we have used Kirby’s Coaches for several of
our visits. Kirby’s have now invited us to arrange a group of minimum 25
persons on the 8th to 12th July inclusive to stay at the
Auckland Hotel, Morecambe, visiting the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales.
The special rate of £229 per person includes half board accommodation, coach
outings and evening entertainment.
We will leave Rayleigh on the
morning of Monday the 8th July, have a comfort stop at Cambridge
Services 14 miles north of Cambridge on the A14, make a lunch stop at Dobbies
and arrive at our hotel at 04.00pm. You will be greeted at the Auckland Hotel
with a warm and friendly welcome at this family run hotel, ideally situated on
Morecambe Bay’s promenade. All bedrooms are en suite with TV, hairdryer and
tea/coffee making facilities. The Auckland is renowned for its high standard of
cuisine, served in the spacious and inviting restaurant. There is a lift to all
floors. This hotel has been fully refurbished to a high standard. During these
tours there will be some excursions to: a tour of the Lake District visiting
Bowness and the Kirkstone Pass, Ullswater, Thirlmere and Grasmere. A Yorkshire
Dales tour including Hawes with opportunity to visit the Wensleydale Creamery
and the Butter Tubs Pass or of your choosing. These trips are included in the
holiday price but any extra visits to historic buildings, boat trips, meals etc
would be at your own cost.
We leave Morecambe on the
return journey on the morning of Friday 12th, making a lunch stop at
Boundary Mills, Grantham. Just off the A1within Downtown Superstore. Plenty of
opportunity to shop and two coffee shops.
This is not a U3A holiday and
is open to all. We will need your names as soon as possible so that we can
confirm the booking with Kirby’s. Contact David Fryer-Kelsey on davefk@lineone.net or 01702 203455 or
Heather Flemmings on heatherfl@lineone.net

is confirmed.
