Trip to Margate

[Ian Stedman]

Hi,

Another popular option for an outing was a trip to Margate. I did not set a date as I wanted to gauge interest first, well nine of you voted for it.

From my last trip in 2018:

This shows some sights of Margate old town, there was a carnival/fair shop, Cliftonville Lido remains and Walpole bay, which has the largest tidal pool in the country. There also a number of rockpools in Cliftonville and nearby Botany bay.

The big question, when do we visit?

I'm away 20th-29th June and 31st July to 4th August.

Perhaps a weekday middle of July or mid to late September (we'll fix a date for Orford ness first)?
I'm avoiding August at it gets very busy in peak summer.

Opinions and ideas welcome.

maybe before schools break up? Charles Darwin finishes on 21st July

Hi,

Trying to agree a date for this.
What availability does everyone have for week commencing 17th July?
The schools break up from around the 20th July.

If it is forecast too be hot (above about 28C), I suggest we postpone to another date.

Dreamland theme park is not open on these dates (weekends only) but the other attractions are open.
