2025 Newsletter Highlights

Welcome to our latest newsletter, with snippets about up and coming holiday tours and day excursions, plus there is information to help understand how we operate such trips, and news of a tour amendment, (in this case Kynren in August).

We hope you are all fit and well, and looking forward to getting out and about meeting old friends and perhaps making new ones. As always we try to provide a variety of locations and types of trips in order to stimulate, educate and amuse. With a greater awareness of the importance of mental health , we like to think we are at least doing our little bit to help improve that mental health – it is good to get out in the fresh air, and talk to people!

Plans for the 2026 Holiday Tour are currently underway, with a theme of Royal Connections – what will be included? You will have to wait and see. We hope to publish by the end of September along with the next Day Excursion Programme (November 2025 – June 2026). The merry go round never stops, and the dizziness caused explains why we never know what year, month, day or time it is!

As always, we look forward to seeing you travelling with us, whether you are one of our many regular travelling friends, or someone we have yet to meet.

Travel Insurance

Since 1st January 2017 we are no longer able to offer you Travel Insurance on our holidays, as we took the decision not to renew our authorisation given by the Financial Conduct Authority for the direct sale of travel insurance. The process was becoming extremely time consuming, bureaucratic and expensive to operate for just the one insurance product we sold, so we have said enough is enough. We will now recommend an insurer for you to contact, as we believe it is extremely prudent for you to be insured, though of course, you are free to make your own decision whether you take the travel insurance through the company we recommend or go elsewhere. It is not compulsory to take out Travel Insurance (though recommended) for tours within the United Kingdom, but it is compulsory for tours outside mainland U.K. and we do need proof of adequate insurance being in place before travelling to destinations outside the U.K. This includes channel Isles and Isle of man and all EU member States. Please note that photo ID is required for travelling in to the Channel Islands and Isle of Man, Northern Island and ferries crossings, acceptable forms of ID are:- Full new style driving licence, bus pass, armed forces ID card, Student ID card, firearms certificate, photographic disabled badge or a Citizencard (which can be obtained from your local post office)
