Weekends
Join us to explore the British Isles on one of our weekends away.
Our weekends are very popular and book up very quickly. You must be a member to book onto a weekend.
Bookings open at one of our regular pub meets, so to bag yourself a place you need to look out for the opening date and attend the pub meet on that day to book it. You don’t have to attend the pub meet, but bookings are on a first come first served basis and it is quite common for weekends to sell out on the night.
You can pay by cheque at the time of booking or by bank transfer. Ask the weekend organiser if you are interested for full details.
