TRIP BOOKINGS & GRADES
Booking On A Trip
If you would like to join a trip, please notify the leaders as follows (no phone calls after 9pm please):
One-Day Trips - by Thursday night
Overnight Trips - by Monday night
Long Weekend Trips - as advertised in the Programme / Newsletter
For all points west, trips leave from the northern entrance of Jubilee Park, 20B Gladstone Road, Richmond (in front of Badminton Hall).
For other trips, the leader will advise the meeting place, but it is often from Paru Paru Road, Nelson (the carpark on the left, in front of the Nelson Squash Club).
• The leader will arrange transport from and back to these pick up points, but you must arrange your own transport to and from there.
• The leader will decide if the trip has to be cancelled because of weather or other circumstances, and will inform everyone accordingly.
• If you book in but then are unable to join the trip, please advise the leader as soon as possible, so they can update the Trip List and rearrange car-pooling.
