The booking arrangements will be slightly different this year. There is no booking form. In future bookings will be through the website, but as this is currently undergoing work, Members will be notified of the trips in the monthly newsletters. In the meantime, if people would like to book early, please email the president to reserve your place: president@thoresby.org.uk You should also confirm a mobile telephone +- contact number, as the trips to Lawnswood and Ilkley will no doubt be weather dependent. For those wishing to go to Harewood, I will notify you when payment is required. A reminder that we are still looking for a Member to join our Events Committee and help co-ordinate future excursions to places of interest. Please contact the president, as above, if you are interested. |
