Geoff's Holiday blog
The long weekend in Torquay went off very well, the weather was excellent for the time of year, the trips were good, we were very lucky to get to Exeter just in time to see the march-past by the Navy to celebrate Trafalgar Day, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The bridge evenings went off well and the computer/BridgeMates worked well, so it made things easy for me and we had the results within 5 minutes of close of play. We just gave token prizes to the winners and made no charge for the bridge. I took the opportunity to get people's opinion on how we should structure our future holidays and weekends. Most people were satisfied with this long weekend using Group UK(19). A few thought that we should upgrade(9). Most people were in favour of having a week abroad in Jan/Feb, a 3/4 day break in May/June, then do another week's holiday in the autumn, either in this country or abroad. A coach holiday to France was also suggested, as well as our usual weekends in Eastbourne. Some people would like more holidays/weekends in this country. Places suggested were Dorset, Norfolk, Bath and the Isle of White, which was favoured by most people. I have been in touch with Group UK and they are enquiring as to whether they can accommodate us for Bridge in May/June 2009. It is most helpful to have feedback, so please tell me any ideas you have, if you have not already done so. Geoff. Back to Top |
