SINGLE TRAVELLERS
Approximately half of our holidays are attended by singles travellers so you will not be on your own, partners for single bridge and whist players are on hand as well as a host and director to make up odd numbers. Each holiday has a minimum of a bridge/whist director and bridge/whist playing host so we reduce the chances of half tables and of course we know the numbers of single players before the holiday takes place and will make arrangements accordingly. Hotels in general will limit the numbers of bedrooms available for sole use and can charge a hefty supplement. We do try where possible to reduce this cost and encourage singles to book early to avoid disappointment.
GROUPS/CLUBS & ASSOCIATIONS
You can book any of the published dates, subject to availability or if you and some friends or club want to choose a particular hotel or date in the UK or Abroad we will happily organise a bespoke holiday exclusively for you or that can be also sold to others. In general we can offer discounts for ten plus people booking and provide free hosts and bridge/whist directors and bowls hosts for groups of over twenty.
FLIGHTS
We can book your flights for you through our own flight booking systems, saving you time and also being able to provide you flight tickets and boarding cards. This service is normally a little more expensive than buying your own tickets on line but can save you some frustrations associated with purchasing online. If you would prefer to do this yourselves but need a little help, we will be more than happy to point you in the right direction, just call us on the numbers above. We include private group airport transfers on our overseas holidays, that aim to have you collected from the airport and on the way directly to your hotel within 25 minutes of arrival.
WHAT ELSE DO WE DO?
We organise overseas congress and competitions for the ENGLISH BRIDGE UNION, SCOTTISH BRIDGE UNION and IRISH BRIDGE FESTIVAL, annual re-unions for BRIDGE CLUB LIVE, as well as UK based competitions for the ENGLISH CHESS FEDERATION, FOUR NATIONS CHESS LEAGUE, BRITISH UNIVERSITIES’ CHESS ASS, UK SCHOOLS CHESS CHALLENGE and ENGLISH PRIMARY SCHOOLS’ CHESS ASSOCIATION. There are many more non for profits organisations, clubs and private groups that we help with their annual general meetings, private group holidays, travel and accommodation booking services, so if you think your paying more than you should or not been receiving a friendly and professional service that you deserve, then please call Simon in the first instance.
