Coach Trips

London Coach Trip, December 7th December, where we experienced a walk of contrasts: lots of water birds, nice canal boats, abandoned boats, lovely canal scenes, discustingly littered canal and path, lovely buildings, abused buildings with grafity, lovely cemetry, the hustle and bussle of the city centre with amazing Christmas lights, good weather, bad weather, some great pubs and great ales. All in all a good day out, thanks to Pete and Andy. Look on the Facebook group for all the comments, smiles and great photographs.

For all coach trips, unless advised otherwise, these will be an all day coach trip from Wellingborough departing from Castle Way at 08.00 prompt.
As is customary it will include approximately 10km and 20km walks from drop off points, and the route is still being finalised.
If you wish to join us for this event the member cost will be £25. Non-members are welcome for a small additional fee, or why not become a member on the day for just £5 per calendar year to get the membership price and many other benefits.
We request a £10 per person deposit at the time of booking in person or for on line bookings the payment can be made by bank transfer or cheque. Until your deposit is received your booking will be considered provisional. The balance of £15 will be payable on boarding the coach by cash, cheque or card payment.

Social Events

Christmas Social Friday 5th December - At The Old Grammarians (OG's) Oxford St, Wellingborough.

The Christmas Social was supported by 34 members in good spirits and members catching up with one another. This year we had a beetle drive which was great fun with Andrew and co winning the overall game.

The buffet was a new menu that was enjoyed by all.

As in past years the raffle was well supported enabling us to have 4 hampers and a various assortment of other prizes.

Due to popularity the next Christmas Social is already booked and is Friday 11th December 2026, so put that in your calendar to avoid missing out.
