OUTINGS

Outings are usually organised four times a year and typically visit two places to widen the appeal. You just have to turn up at a local pickup point and everything is arranged for you,  a comfortable coach, good company, coffee and lunch, fascinating places to explore with guides when necessary at the venues.

Each year we take a four night break, staying in a 4* hotel and enjoy excursions to places of interest. 

Probus Holiday - West Yorkshire Monday August 30th to Friday September 3rd

Dear Member

 I am pleased to advise that the 2027 Probus Holiday will be to West Yorkshire and we will be based at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Harrogate for the five days four nights from Monday August 30 to Friday September 3. Please note that the 30th is a Bank Holiday.  The expected costs per person to include Dinner,Bed and Breakfast are £795 in a Double or Twin Room and £845 for a Double Room for sole occupancy. We need a minimum of 26 to make this trip viable. So far there has been strong interest from those who travelled to North Wales and Snowdonia in 2026. We are however keen to attract further support from Club Members and especially couples. Single rooms are always at a premium so if you wish to participate you need to express your interest very quickly if we are tp try  to secure sufficient Single rooms.

 The highlights of any Probus Holiday are the excursions that we organise. In 2027 these will include visits to York, Castle Howard, Saltaire, a journey on the Railway Children train from Keighley to Oxenhope, a visit to the Bronte Parsonage in Haworth, a tour of Harrogate and a visit to the Pump Room plus visits to two or three NT properties at Kedleston, Hardwick Hall and Nostall Priory.

 Each of our 10 previous Probus Holidays have been very successful and greatly enjoyed. If you haven't been before it's now time to come. Please contact either myself or Stan Idell, Peter Stevenson or Joanna Jones by Phone or e-mail if you are seriously interested in participating. We look forward to hearing from you. Bookings will be accepted in the order they are received. Formal Booking Forms are expected to be issued by early December when a non-refundable deposit of £125 will need to be paid.

Very best wishes.
