SOMERSET

Friday 14th May to
Monday 17th May 2010

We have booked this long weekend at the Smiths Hotel, Western- Super-Mare which we understand is on the sea front and is used regularly by Plan-It Travel. It is a nice hotel with very good food. The accommodation will be Bed, Breakfast and Evening meal with evening entertainment. All rooms are en-suite and there is no single supplement. The cost includes all coaching in Plan-It’s very comfortable coaches with Glen driving and the drivers tip. There is no single supplement on this holiday. Any entry fees will be advised in the itinerary and collected on the coach on the outward journey. We hope to visit Wells and Tyntesfield during the weekend. If you are interested in this holiday book your place with Janet as soon as possible together with a non refundable deposit of £25 per person. There are no single rooms left for this holiday but I can still put your name on the list as a room may become available. There are still plenty of twin rooms left.   

YORKSHIRE

Friday 9th July 2010

6 days

We will be staying at the 4 star Barcelo Majestic Hotel Harrogate. The accommodation is Bed, Breakfast and Evening Meal. All rooms are en-suite and single occupancy will be in a twin room at an extra cost of £80. We are sorry that once again there is a hefty single supplement but Bob has managed to do a deal and obtain a discount for us on this cost. All coaching and drivers tip is included in the price and entry fees will be advised in the itinerary and collected on the coach on the outward journey. We will take advantage of our free annual entry to an RHS Garden and plan to visit Harlow Carr which we understand has had quite extensive changes made. If you are interested in this trip book your place with Janet together with a £25 per person non refundable deposit.  There are no single rooms left for this holiday but I can still put your name on the list as a room may become available. There are still plenty of twin rooms left.

SCOTLAND

Monday
6th September to
Friday 6th September
2010

5 days

We have decided to go ahead with this holiday as we had such good response at the meeting and have already sold all the single rooms. The hotel is the De Vere Barony Castle Hotel, Eddlestone, Peebles, Scotland. The historic façade houses a modern hotel with all the facilities for a comfortable stay. En-suite accommodation includes hairdryer, Satellite TV and tea /coffee making facilities. There is a bar, restaurant and leisure areas and for the more energetic a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna/steam room and a mini gym. Entertainment includes a Scottish night.  This imposing hotel is set in 25 acres of tranquil gardens and woodland close to the border town of Peebles. There is no single supplement on this holiday.  If you are interested  book you place with Janet as soon as possible together with a £25 per person non refundable deposit.  There are no single rooms left for this holiday but I can still put your name on the list as a room may become available. There are still plenty of twin rooms left. 


 

Please Note:

We require day trips to be paid in full. If for any reason you have to cancel we will make a refund only if we can fill your seat.

A non refundable deposit of £25 is required for each person when booking a holiday. Should you have to cancel after you have paid your final bill you must reclaim the cost from your own annual travel policy.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

Whilst we take great care in looking after members on our trips, The Society can not be held responsible for any loss or injury suffered by a member.

We feel we must remind all members who travel with us that Holiday Insurance is the responsibility of the individual. We would strongly recommend that once you have booked and paid your deposit you take out insurance. If you are going on several holidays this year it is often cheaper to take out an annual policy, renewable each year. Once the Society has paid over deposits or the balance of holiday payments we cannot give a refund unless we can re sell the place.

It would be up to you to make a claim on your insurance as the Society cannot be held responsible. There are many companies who offer reasonably priced holiday insurance, The Post Office, Bradford & Bingley, Saga, Zurich, Age Concern to name but a few.

E111 FORMS/EUROPEAN HEALTH INSURANCE CARDS

When travelling abroad to EEC countries it is necessary to have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which replaces the old E111 form, for any health cover that you may need. If you have not yet received your new EHIC card automatically, you can get a form from the Post Office to reapply. You can apply by post, by phone or online.
