Dear Members and friends
Following the highly-successful trips to Beverley and Ireland, Marilyn Makins has planned the following trips.
Scotland
There will be a short break holiday to Scotland from the 1st October, staying at the Duke of Gordon Hotel, Kingussie in the heart of the Scottish Highlands.
The trip to the Scottish Highlands will be a 4 night, half board short break, with an excursion to Scone Palace included. Other excursions may be available during the break, at an extra charge. This trip has been popular and is now fully booked.
Hull
Members visited Kingston upon Hull (to render its full title) on July 22nd 2026, Hull is a fine and historic city with a cultural life all of its own. City of Culture in 2017, it is far more than just a past centre of the fishing industry. It was an excellent day out, many thanks to Marilyn for her hard work in arranging the day trip.
Ireland 2025
Horncastle u3a members, plus others from Horncastle and surrounding areas joined together to enjoy a week in Ireland where there was fun, laughter, music, entertainment, good food and four excursions to different parts of the area where we stayed
This was Enniscorthy - a beautiful little town with different attractions and plenty of places to see, plus shops cafes and restaurants. It was a fun and interesting week, and all who put their faith in my organisational skills enjoyed the experience!
I’m planning a similar trip later in the year perhaps - early October - on the west coast of Scotland. Final details will be published very soon.
I'll keep all members posted.
Kind regards
Marilyn
