Southwell U3A Hints & tips for Trippers

​Just a few pointers and helpful hints that we hope will answer the questions we are most often asked.
 
  • Please note the date in your diary/kitchen calendar/electronic diary
 
  • Complete the Trip Booking Form – we must have that emergency contact number (you can change it on the day of the trip)
 
  • Cheques to be made payable to Southwell U3A, please note
    • Your place is not confirmed until we have received your cheque
    • We can hold a provisional place, but you must send a cheque within one week of asking the organiser for a place
    • Cheques will not be banked until the trip is confirmed as viable
    • So there may be a long delay between you writing cheque and the Organiser banking the cheque
    • We cannot take payment in cash
    • Note in your diary/cheque counterfoil that you have paid
    • Any additional admission charges are to be paid by cheque – please bring your cheque book on the day of the Trip
    • Once paid, monies cannot be refunded unless another member can take your place
 
  • All departures are from the Leisure Centre Car Park
    • Check in Newsline for departure time
    • Emergency contact number for the Organiser on the day of the trip is 07980 540 779.  Number also published in Newsline
 
  • On a long journey we will usually stop for a comfort break,
                   but not for coffee, it just takes too long.  Please bring refreshments for the journey
 
  • If you can’t go, please phone the Trip Organiser. Do not arrange your own substitute, this is not fair on those on the waiting-list.

  • Members of other U3A groups are welcome on the trips.  Non U3A members may be able to join a trip if in the last week there are still places and there is no-one on the waiting list.  (NB This does not apply to non U3A members who are carers of U3A members, they should book their place with whomever they are assisting.)
 
  • The Trip organiser will not be phoning everyone on the list – it is up to you to check/note down details about the trip
