An Important Reminder to All Applicants

This article is a gentle but important reminder for all members applying for trips organised by the UK Travel and European Travel groups.

Our trips are open to all Sheffield u3a members only. Please do not ask if a friend, family member etc can join and then take offence at the refusal. All applications must have up to date Su3a membership numbers and emergency contact details and should be filled in correctly.

The organising team will try to give as much information about a trip being offered as possible. However it is the responsibility of the applicant to be able to get on and off the coach and enjoy the trip independently or with the assistance of a carer (who does not need to be a Su3a member but must pay for the trip). Members must not rely upon the coach driver, the organising team or fellow travellers to assist them throughout the day. Applicants must highlight any issues (and allergies if lunch is being provided) on the application form. Informing the team the day before or on the day means we cannot always make any allowances required. If in doubt applicants can always contact the relevant trip leader for further information so that an informed decision can be made by you.

Sometimes applicants, rightly or wrongly, become frustrated. However the members of the organising teams, like many other members, have other commitments outside of the travel groups e.g other charity work, family and friends. So I would ask all applicants when contacting the team members to be courteous and patient. Rude behaviour will no longer be accepted.
