General Information                          

Newsletters:

Hard copy newsletters will be mailed to those members requesting them and will also be available on the website. Please note that the newsletter may not be produced every month. It will only be produced if necessary.

Booking Forms:

All requests for a trip must be made on the appropriate booking form, which must be completed in full, and please make sure the declaration is signed.

Completed booking forms must be sent in by the close date which will be printed on the Booking Forms, and be accompanied by a cheque for the full amount payable to IBM Retired Employee Club (S. Hants) and a self-seal stamped and self addressed envelope.

You will receive a positive receipt of your booking telling you if you are definitely on the trip or whether you are waitlisted or unable to have a place due to over demand.

If you do not receive an acknowledgement after the bookings close date please contact the organiser.

Clarification of Cancellations:

• There will be no change for cancellations made prior to “bookings close” date. In that event cheques will be destroyed as at present.
• Where a cancellation occurs after the “bookings close” date no refund will be made for events costing £15 or less per person.
• Where a cancellation occurs within five days of the date of the event no refund will be made irrespective of the cost.
• Where a cancellation occurs following “bookings close” date and prior to five days before the event and the cost per person exceeds £15 then a refund will be made if the place(s) can be resold and will be subject to a £5 admin charge.

Coaches:

As we have continued to receive excellent service from Eassons we are retaining them as our preferred supplier for 2010.

Coaches will depart from IBM North Harbour, Block 'C' Car Park. (please refer to the Car park map)

Coaches will not wait for latecomers except in exceptional circumstances e.g. major hold ups on surrounding roads, when the departure time will be at the discretion of the Committee Member in charge.

Coaches will not wait for latecomers on return journeys so you must ensure that you leave adequate time to rejoin the coach for the return.

Spare Places:

In the event that a trip is not fully booked at the bookings close date, a note of continuing availability will be posted on the website together with an indication of how many places are available. Anyone wishing to book one of the remaining available places should contact the trip organiser directly.
