A four night holiday has been arranged leaving on Sunday, June 27th and returning on Thursday July 1st. We will be based at the Preston Marriott Hotel. This is a 4*  hotel with a pool and leisure facilities, on the outskirts of Preston.

We will have a stop on the way to the hotel for coffee and for lunch. (location of stops to be decided)

We will spend our time visiting Liverpool, Salford Quays (Manchester) and go to Kendall and Lake Windermere. 

On our return journey we will again stop for coffee and lunch.

The cost of the holiday, based on 40 people will be £585 per person, for a shared room. The single supplement is £220 per person – this gives you a room with either twin beds or a double bed for single occupancy).

 Travel Insurance is available via Blakes Coaches. Insurance is likely to be about  £38.

We have an allocation of 14 single, 11 twin and 9 double rooms.

We need 40 people to make this viable, and any cheques will not be banked until we have that number, please don't make any bank transfers before the trip has been declared viable.

To secure a place a £50 deposit is required, which is refundable until it is paid to Blakes. The balance will need to be paid by early April.
