Geoff's Holiday blog

Since my last blog we have taken a small bridge group to the Algarve, Portugal for a week in February, we played three table teams each evening, it was the easiest movement for the twelve of us. There were 20 in all in the group, and we did quite a bit of walking during the days, thanks to Mike Hall (Janet's husband) who organised the walks, and hired a nine seater coach to get us to the starts. The weather was good, no rain other than a short shower, whilst we were walking, not as hot as last year but still very pleasant. Food and accommodation still quite good.

We did arrange a trip out 9th. to 12th. April 2010. We went back to Copdock and the Constable country in Suffolk. I think that everyone enjoyed it, we had day trips to Norwich and Bury St. Edmunds, Long Melford and Lavenham. We celebrated Syd's 90th. birthday on the Saturday evening. He kindly supplied us with wine and birthday cake. He had a card and a small gift from the club, presented to him by Janet Field. We had the best possible weather all through the weekend, and it was very easy for me as Jenny did the computer scoring for me, for which I thank her very much. As it was Grand National weekend we had a sweepstake on it, run by Ron Thain. (Thanks Ron.) The winning horse was drawn by Janet Field.

I have arranged a long weekend at Warwick 1st. to 4th. October 2010. again with "Just for Groups" Cost £219. There can be excursions to the Cotswolds, Stratford-on-Avon or Warwick Castle.. We have to get 28 people to make it viable, we have 15 at present, book early if you would like a single room as they are limited.

I have just arranged with Saga for a week in Majorca (a return to the hotel at which we stayed on the club's first trip abroad some 9 years ago) I do not have the paper work yet, but they are offering us 11th. to 18th. October 2010 for about £589 Full board and all inclusive drinks etc. I will send an email around when I get full details. We will have to make up our minds fairly quickly as they only hold the flights and rooms for 4 weeks,
