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.

Forthcoming Events -

Friday, 27 March 2020 - Spring 2020 - Tutankhamun Exhibition & Windsor - Windsor area

FRIDAY 27TH MARCH - SUNDAY 29TH MARCH 2020

Spring Holiday 2020 - 3 days/2nights. £270 per person DBB inclusive of exhibition tickets.

By popular demand, we are being asked to also include tickets to go into Windsor Castle - this will take the overall total to £270 but hopefully you will all find this well worth while.

Celebrating 100 years since the tomb's discovery, the Tutankhamum exhibition has arrived at the Saachi Gallery in London, so we thought the Holiday Group could incorporate this into our short Spring holiday.

Staying at the Holiday Inn near to Windsor with time in the schedule to spend quality time in Windsor as well as having a day in London taking in this unique exhibition.

A couple of twin rooms are still available, socontact Hazel Elderkin on h.elderkin@btinternet.com as soon as possible for a booking form. Full payment is due at the end of January 2020.

Wednesday, 10 June 2020 - Isle of Wight holiday - Shanklin Hotel

In response to group member requests, plans are well underway for a holiday in 2020 to the Isle of Wight. 5 days/4 nights DBB. £419 pp.

Wednesday 10th June to Sunday 14th June staying at the Shanklin Hotel - situated in Shanklin and overlooking Sandown Bay.

Included in the holiday costs will be a visit to Osborne House as well as Carisbrooke Castle.

There is a free day in the middle, but for those who prefer to keep busy we are exploring an optional excursion (costs around £30) over to Portsmouth (Naval dockyards) and to visit the Mary Rose exhibition - subject to sufficient numbers.

As always there is a limited number of single rooms and we hope by members being willing to share will mean that more people can join the holiday.

The holiday is now full - if you are interested and want to put your name on the waiting list then contact Hazel h.elderkin@btinternet.com
