We all met up for a pub lunch in Ely before travelling to Suffolk to stay in spacious and comfortable accommodation at Warner’s Gunton Hall coastal resort. The Hall is set in beautiful grounds with a picturesque lake and landscaped gardens. It was Turkey and Tinsel week so everyone was in the party mood and there were plenty of daytime activities to be enjoyed. Some of us learnt to dance the Merengue and others joined the Christmas Choir which later performed on stage as part of the evening entertainment! There were many fun Quizzes and with our combined knowledge we won the Christmas Musical Quiz! Some of us went swimming in the lovely pool and others tried their hand at crossbow firing. There was a well equipped Games Room where we played table tennis, darts, table football and pool. We had a trip out to Great Yarmouth to visit the market and do some souvenir shopping as well as sampling the local chips! We then headed for the pier for a game of 10 pin bowling. Each evening after a ...

What a fantastic week we had at Potters Luxury Leisure resort. With its beautifully spacious rooms and all-round relaxed atmosphere, we all felt extremely comfortable and well looked after. The food really was exceptional and we built up quite a rapport with our very smiley waitress, Trish. Nothing was too much trouble, and she made sure we had everything we wanted. After dinner we would always make our way into the Atlas Theatre, where we were always treated to amazing entertainment. The performers were professional and enthusiastic and always wore a smile. We made sure we put our stamp on the dance floor each night too – we enjoyed ballroom, disco and line dancing! There is much going on around the resort every day, so we were always busy participating in fantastic activities. We did archery (and walked away as gold medallists!), darts, swimming, air rifle shooting, and even tried our hands at curling! Go team JollyDays! Everyone really took the competitive spirit of the ...

It is a beautiful time of year to be accommodated within the forestry area of Nottingham with the varying shades of autumn colours! The first evening after dinner we went bowling. Emma was on top form and easily beat the rest of us! It was so lovely walking through the village at night time with many splendid lights strung up in the trees and also animal shapes decked with lights. On our first morning we explored the park. We found where Father Christmas lived in his grotto and saw his reindeer and we stroked the ponies and horses that pulled the carts around the forestry area. Some of our group went in to see Father Christmas and had a good chat with him. They came away with a special present! We made the most of the many activities on offer at the resort. We played pool, tennis, badminton, table tennis, crazy golf and the brave among us even went roller skating. We went swimming and had great fun in the pool, the flumes and the rapids. We also went bowling and had a go at archery...
