Trips and outings
Crossways Travel will continue to offer a 10% discount on ALL day trips until the end of September. If you need a copy of their Day Excursion Brochure or would like to book a day trip, please phone them on: 01305 851697.
From October onwards, we will revert to the system of Group Bookings through u3a. These can be made at the First Monday Meeting, or by cheque or by Bank Transfer. Please telephone Anna on 01305 265152 for details as to how to do either of these
(email: annashapter@gmail.com). You are still very welcome to book any of the other day trips through Crossways Travel, but you will not get the 10% group discount.
Any bookings made will be fully refundable should Government guidelines change and the trips cannot go ahead. Crossways Travel always follow these guidelines and are happy to reassure you should you have any concerns.
