General information

All activities will have a cost next to them, as we have to pay for hall and minibus hire etc.

Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis once payment has been received by Freya. Monies can be dropped into our letterbox at the Office in a named envelope. Contact Freya (07389 050605) if you have any questions.
 

Most of the trips will leave at approx. 9-10am and be back about 4pm.

We will ask that you wear face masks on the minibus and use hand sanitiser.

This is decided nearer the time once we have all the passengers and then we can arrange pick up times. Someone will then phone you before to give you your pick up time and place.

If you are worried about accessibility for any of our trips, or have any questions please come and see Freya to talk it over.
