Huge thanks to Mike Charman who is organising this year’s holiday for the Group and is proposing the following:

Having had two successful years using Daish Coaches for our trip I have decided to stay with them for October 2026 – they are not luxurious but I believe provide value for money as they include half-board hotels and coach travel from Sussex.

This year’s venue is the Abbey Lawn Hotel (www.abbeylawnhotel.co.uk) in Torquay from Friday 16^th October until Tuesday 20^th October with coach pick-up points from Shoreham, Worthing, Arundel and Chichester.

Walks will be arranged on Saturday, Sunday and Monday with hopefully 3 separate walks each day of differing lengths & difficulty.

Costs are:

£305 per person sharing a double/twin room (7 rooms reserved with more available)

£315 per person in a standard single (6 reserved)

£330 per person in a single with garden views (3 reserved)

£455 per person in a double room for single occupancy (7 reserved)

If you wish to join us please email Mike on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. stating which type of room you require – first-come, first-served.  Once the 9 singles are booked Mike will contact you to see if you wish to take a double for single occupancy at the extra cost.

Once a room is confirmed a non-returnable deposit of £50-00 will be required - The Ramblers Association, Sort Code 60 83 01 Account Number 20356271 Please email both Mike and cc our Treasurer This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. so that we can keep track of deposits paid.

Please feel free to make your own travel & accommodation arrangements and just join us for the walking – the nearest Premier Inn to the Abbey Lawn is quoting £256 for room only for 4 nights with immediate payment but cancellation available up to 28 days before start date. There are many other hotel or B&B options in Torquay.

I plan to set up a WhatsApp group so when booking please confirm you wish to join this group and provide the mobile number you wish to use.

 

Friday 13th November - Shuffleboard Evening - BOOKING OPEN 1ST OCTOBER 

What is it?

Shuffleboard is a fun and easy game where players slide metal pucks (also called weights) down a long wooden table, aiming to land them in the scoring zones.

If you’ve never played before, don’t worry — it’s quick and easy to pick up and no previous skill or experience is needed!

We’ll be playing in teams of 3 or 4, depending on the final numbers, and there will be prizes for the winning team(s).

Venue & Food

We’ll be at the lovely East Preston and Kingston Village Hall, BN16 1LP in the Warren Room https://epkvh.co.uk/  Please arrive at  7.30pm for a prompt 7.45 pm start. There is a carpark attached to the hall and free parking on the nearby roads.

Please bring your own nibbles and drinks. Alcohol is allowed.

There won’t be a formal break, but there will be times when you’re sitting and watching the action, so you’ll have opportunities to snack and imbibe.

Cost

The cost is £9 per person, which represents excellent value and covers the hire of the hall, plus the expert shuffleboard men who will be providing the boards and organising the evening.

Friends, partners and family members are all very welcome — the more the merrier!

A maximum of 25–30 people would be ideal, so please book your place as soon as you can.
