Easter School Holidays
Fri 9th - Sun 11th April 2010

We have provisionally booked Courtyard Farm again for 2010 and plan to offer the weekend break for £65. These dates fall in the Easter school holidays so we are also giving the option for people to add a few extra days to the start of the weekend if they wish. For an extra £20 a day you can book to come on the Wed and/or Thurs and make a longer holiday of it. Please be aware that the tides will not be suitable to ride on the beach on the wed/thurs but there are lots of other nice inland rides. Members only. Priority given to people who have not come before if they book before the end of 2009. limited to 20 people.
If you want to be put on a provisional list I will send you details as soon as I have confirmed things. email lesleygillman@btinternet.com
