Holidays and Travel Group

Holiday and Travel Group Header

The purpose of this group is to facilitate and organise holidays and travel opportunities for our members. Important - here is the serious stuff !

The Group Leaders Handbook contains certain rules which must be adhered to. In particular -

Personal Travel/Accident/Cancellation Insurance is obligatory for trips abroad, and advisable for UK Trips and must be arranged personally by individuals going on any of our trips/holidays. The Organisers are not responsible for your insurance nor for any losses incurred by you if you fail to take out insurance before paying your deposits.

Cancellations – no refunds will be given unless a replacement can be found. Refunds will be limited to the amount paid by the replacement and cancellation charges imposed by the tour/coach company may apply for which you will be liable.

As organisers we cannot accept cash payments or cheques made out to us.

Free places given by the tour /coach operators are shared amongst the participants or used to defray incidental expenses such as the drivers’ gratuity.

General meetings – are for members to socialise and share holiday ideas and experiences - 10.30 am at various venues (see events calendar for details) – normally every 3 months.

The cost of admission to Bletchley Park is included. We have secured a number of single rooms with no supplement but these will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Travelling on Friday 2nd August we journey towards the highlight of our weekend, a visit to Bletchley Park. This is a heritage attraction which played a major role in World War II producing secret intelligence which had a big influence on the outcome of the conflict. We will be staying at the Royal Cambridge Hotel enabling us to spend Saturday 3rd August exploring the many attractions of this wonderful city.

As we make our way home on Sunday 4th August, we plan to make a stop en-route at a point of interest (Belton House & Gardens) to make the most of our weekend break.
