Meet the Outings and Day Trip Team. We are Susan Bluck and Heather Carruth (you can contact us at Outings Team).

Our aim is to provide a varied and interesting programme of approximately one Outing or Day Trip per month, excluding August.

You can find information on our future programme, plus what’s included in the Outing’s price in the monthly newsletter and via the Outings Updates which are emailed by this team direct to your inbox. Details on how to pay are always included. An envelope will be available on each Outing for you to thank the driver with a tip, should you wish to do so.
