I have 2 trips on AFF , St Johns Beacon and Christmas Lunch

There has been some confusion re. “members booking trips” and some members may unfortunately miss out on either of the above

Can all members who have their names on either of the above “trip lists” , please arrange to pay by Tuesday 22nd October , I have a reserve list (with members eager to pay) for both events and consideration will be given to members on that list if payments are not received by “post” , “delivery” or “at the AFF desk” on Tuesday 22nd October

In future members may book a place on the trip by text or email , a separate list will be kept and only when a member has paid the full amount for the trip will their name  be transferred to the trip list and a place secured, alternatively , members may “book a place and pay” at AFF desk

No names will go on a trip sheet without payment
