Welcome to Colchester CAMRA's new programme of visits to our 'Hidden Gems' - those rural public houses that are difficult to reach by public transport.
The programme is detailed below for this year and will generally take place on the second Thursday of each month.
Each trip will involve the use of the local community transport minibus which will hold 16 people (for very popular trips, there is the possibility of a second bus) and leave out side Gala Bingo at 7pm sharp (Unless otherwise notified)
The cost of each trip will be between £6 and £10, dependent on distances travelled. (Non-members maybe subject to an additional charge, places dependent on availability). See details of each trip for actual cost.
Places for the bus MUST be pre-booked with either John Tweed or John Durrant by Midday on the Monday before the trip. Please use this for booking places on the Bus (Alternatively, you can call JT on his mobile if it is very short notice).
