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.

I think it is because we know members enjoy the days out and we like organising them.

  • 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…
