The Travel Group arranges a variety of one day trips and activities throughout the year, and longer excursions to more distant parts of Spain, with hotel accommodation. September 2009 saw our first venture overseas, when 20 members travelled to Prague in the Czech Republic, for a 4-day city break.

The Travel Team are on hand to collect money and names for trips between 10.00 a.m.-10.55 a.m. on the morning of the general meetings in the Parador Hotel. The travel room is located just beyond the gift shop on the right hand side, opposite Reception. If you cannot attend the Parador you can contact any travel organiser via the website, or use our new MAIL BOX service.

IMPORTANT NOTES

If you are unable to use a trip which you have already paid for you should inform the appropriate Travel Organiser, who will try and find a replacement from the reserve list. Where this is possible, the Travel Organiser should be able to give you a full or partial refund (depending on the nature of the trip). If there is no waiting list, then a refund would not be possible, as this may prejudice other members booked on the trip. We have a clearly defined policy whereby non-members are only permitted after all else has been exhausted, and the non-member may be expected to pay a small additional supplement. We do not allow non-member substitutions as it is unfair to our members.
