What a Clown Car!

Looking through my photo archives I spotted this snap of a crazy clown car I saw in Great Yarmouth on my last visit to the seaside resort.

I'm looking forward to heading back to Great Yarmouth in the future. It'll be interesting to see what's new in the town.

Putting Green in Gorleston-on-Sea

A look back at Gorleston Putting Green in Norfolk.


Putting Green in Gorleston-on-Sea

Back in May 2009 we visited Gorleston-on-Sea in Norfolk for the first time and swung by the Putting Green on the seafront.


Putting Green in Gorleston-on-Sea
It was late in the day when we arrived at the course

When we returned to the seaside town in June 2010 we were able to play the nearby Pops Meadow Putting Green but didn't have time to revisit the Putting Green.


There was also a sign for the Bure Park Pitch & Putt at the Putting Green. That's a course we've got to check out the next time we're in the area.

Greetings from Seacroft Holiday Club in Hemsby, Norfolk

Many thanks to our friend Steve from the On the Buses fan club who recently sent us this nice old postcard showing the Putting Green at the Seacroft Holiday Club in Hemsby, Norfolk. The card was posted in 1988 and is a very nice addition to our miniature golf postcard collection.

Looking online it appears that the Seacroft Holiday Club, also known as Seacroft Holiday Camp and Seacroft Holiday Village, was merged with its sister site Hemsby Beach Holiday Park in 2017. The current Richardson's holiday park is home to a Crazy Golf course.


We also have this nice postally used John Hinde card showing the Pontin's Seacroft Holiday Centre in our collection. It was posted on the 13th May 1985.

The latest issue of Picture Postcard Monthly magazine (July 2019) contains an article I wrote about Pontin's holiday camps.

We've enjoyed our trips to Hemsby on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. Hemsby is home to one of my all-time favourite courses - the Lost World Adventure Golf. We're looking forward to a return visit in the future.

We visited Cromer in July 2016 and enjoyed our time in the seaside resort. The old Crazy Golf course at the Boating Lake was the 687th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We've now been to 887 courses since September 2006.

New Adventure Golf course at Cromer Boating Lake

New Adventure Golf course heading to the Boating Lake in Cromer.


A new Adventure Golf course is being built at Cromer Boating Lake

A new 18-hole Adventure Golf course is being built in Cromer, Norfolk and should be open in time for Easter. The new course will replace the old Crazy Golf course that has been at the Boating Lake site for the past 27 years.

We visited Cromer in July 2016 and enjoyed our time at the seaside resort. There are lots of opportunities to play minigolf in the town. As well as the new Adventure Golf course there's a superb Putting course on the cliff top and a Pitch & Putt and Putting Green at The Meadow. There also used to be a Putting course at North Lodge Park, but it wasn't there when we visited.

The old Crazy Golf course at the Boating Lake was the 687th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
