Away Travel Update

Dear Member,

From next season the following changes will apply

Bookings will open on Fixtures Day Thursday 25^th June 2026.  All bookings, amendments and cancellations must be made via WhatsApp, Text Message or Email.  Verbal requests will no longer be accepted.

If you are unable to attend a game you have already booked, please let us know as soon as possible.  Please don’t wait until ticket details / coach & food details are issued to cancel.

This season has been hard, many cancelling in 24/36/48 hours before the game. This results in having to make many changes, sometimes on the morning of the game!

To help cover the cost of any cancellations, a £10 deposit game by game will now be required.  This deposit is non-refundable if you withdraw when the coach & food details come out or in the week up to the game.  Anyone who pulls out at short notice will also be asked to pay the full coach fare upfront for future bookings (exceptions may apply).

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Thanks again for all your support
