Easter 2007
If there is sufficient demand, Judy Allfrey will be organising an Easter stay at Castle Hedingham youth hostel from 6-9 April 2007. Castle Hedingham is a small village with all facilities, set in good cycling countryside. The intention would be to ride there and back. The hostel is in the centre of the village and is due to be closed from September 2007, so this may be your last chance to visit it. Anyone not wanting hostel accommodation can book B&B locally.
Please let Judy know if you are interested contact . If sufficient numbers are interested, she will make a provisional booking in November and will need final decisions (and money) in December. Those who shop at Tescos will wish to note that Clubcard vouchers can be exchanged for YHA vouchers (to be spent on accommodation, food or membership) at the rate of £4 of YHA vouchers for £1 of Clubcard tokens. A note with more details of the trip will be available from Judy in due course.
