Please read these Rules carefully BEFORE parting with your 'Hard Earned' !
Mostly our 'Days Out' are by public transport, and sometimes by hired mini-bus. This info has been posted here owing to people dropping in & out of the trips, resulting in everyone attending being 'messed about', causing the mini-bus fare to increase after I've announced the cost, it has been necessary to alter the Rules below to cover all events. Amendments in green
a) Please ensure that you are *DEFINITELY* attending, before paying in any monies etc - (See Rules b & c especially)
b) All monies paid in are *NON* returnable, unless the trip is cancelled - (minus any deposit taken by minibus firm)
c) As from Oct 2017 ... there will be *NO REFUNDS* of fares, once paid in, for whatever reason
d) It will be taken that by paying your fare you have AGREED with all the Rules
e) All monies collected in this way will go directly into the 'R.A.T.S. Kitty'. ( https://www.the-rats.org/rats-kitty.html )
f) Monies collected in the R.A.T.S. 'Kitty' will be used against future mini-bus trips or other reasons
g) On an organised mini-bus trip there are normally only 16 seats available ... so it's a strict 1st come - 1st served !
h) Nobody - (that's NOBODY) - is to SUBSTITUTE or GIVE AWAY their place on a trip to anyone else !
i) Re: Substitution & Minibus trips - I MUST be contacted FIRST, otherwise it causes problems & upset for Reserves !
j) Anyone failing to pay in required monies by a predetermined date will NOT be going, and a Reserve will be contacted
k) No one is to change / modify the trip itinerary once we're out, (unless we're 'lost' !)
l) Timekeeping (minibus) : We MUST be punctual, especially the return journey. We'll wait 15 mins max - then we're off !
m) Please give me your mobile number so I can attempt to contact you if you're delayed on way back to mini-bus
n) I really shouldn't have to mention this but ... anyone 'fouling' the mini-bus will be liable for the valeting costs !
