A variety of day trips and holidays are arranged by several of our members for the benefit of all. More trip organisers are always welcome as are suggestions for new trips.

Thursford Weekend – November 2025
On a wet and windy November weekend we set off for Thursford, Norfolk to see its spectacular Christmas show. I did wonder why I had signed up for such a long road trip just to go and see a show but my concerns were needless. The coach was comfortable, the company convivial and the show…
