General notes

All members, friends and prospective members are invited onto any of the outings. The outings should be booked via

•  the website

• or by sending Gill a WhatsApp message on 07905922905

Once you have booked an outing, if you need to cancel or change anything, please let Gill know via WhatsApp. If you get a thumbs up to your message, it means I have seen it.

When you have booked on an event via the website, you will get an email to confirm your booking. Save this email as it contains all the trip details, if you don’t receive an email, please contact Gill to confirm. Thank you.

For all outings that state “please book your own ticket”, you need to RSVP to the outing on the website as well as booking your own ticket so Gill knows you are going. This helps arrange car shares and ensure the outing can start on time.

Outings for 2025 are being put on the website as I book them. Where it states book your own ticket and RSVP on the website, it is important to do this. Some may be popular and will sell out due to limited number of places available, so keep an eye on the website. As the saying goes, if you snooze, you lose!

For the 2025 outings programme, Gill will aim to organise

• 1 x day outing each month from March to October

• 1 x evening outing each month from March to November

• 1 x meal out to a different cuisine every other month

If there are any other outings you wish to organise yourselves, Nik and Gill will help you put them on the website.

If you have any questions, please talk to Gill or WhatsApp Gill on 07905922905

Have your say

If you have any thoughts or ideas you'd like to share or suggest please use the Contact Us form so we can follow it up.

Hope to see you soon on the outings.
