DAY-LONG FIELD TRIPS
These trips run all year round and are
open to all who can
make their own way to the site.
It is essential to pre-book, as places usually
get filled up very quickly.
Choose the trip and date, check
availability, then use the
to register and send it with the booking fee.
Just to clarify,
bookings are taken on a first come, first served basis. You can also phone
or e-mail bookings in, so long as payment follows in the post, together
with the booking form, within 2 weeks (please note that I can no longer
receive fax messages). We do not issue receipts, so if you do not hear
from us, consider your booking valid.
Bookings
are not transferable.
If, for any
reason you are unable to come on the trip, we will refund money if
notified at least 2 weeks before the date of the trip. We regret that
weekend break deposits are non-returnable.
Please do not turn up
without booking!!!
