Friday DAY TRIPS

Day Trips run every Friday except bank holidays, between Christmas & New Year & the first week of January.                                                                                                                      

When a new list is launched, I initially log requests for a few weeks, then allocate trip & pub places as fairly as possible. If I receive requests after this, there will be a higher chance that you will need to be placed on a waiting list. It’s likely that I will receive cancellations & would then offer spaces as they become available. I would always recommend that you put your requests in as early as possible. 

I am not able to guarantee that friends can be on the same bus as they are organised by area.

If you have any ideas of where you would like to go, please let me know, even if we have been there previously. I would prefer to list places you have requested & want to return to. New ideas are also welcome.

If you have any questions or would like to request any day trips, please call  0117 961 6016 (& press option 3 for day trips & pubs only) or email  kate.ferris@kingswoodct.org.uk

Notes:

We are unable to guarantee that friends can be on the same bus as they are organised by area.

All pick up times will be 9 am onwards except for the Summer Party which will start at approximately 11:50 am until 1 pm.

Payment for trips should be made at least 2 weeks before the trip & is non refundable if cancelled within 7 days of the trip.

Please can I urge everyone to take a mobile phone on all trips in case you need to contact your driver.

If you require mobility hire at any of the day trip venues, this will need to be booked independently & you will need to let me know so I can arrange for your driver to drop you at the collection point.
