COVID-19 ASSURANCE - YOU ARE IN SAFE HANDS! At the time of writing this brochure, at the end of October 2020, we are still in the grip of this terrible pandemic. However, we very much hope that as winter progresses and we reach the spring of 2021, that restrictions will be lifted and we can all enjoy life, and holidays, more or less as we used to! However, we must remain vigilant throughout and we want to assure you that you are in safe hands when you travel on our holidays. We have a well-established COVID-19 risk assessment in place, as well as our detailed Safe Operating Procedure, the main points of this are detailed below: We’ll call you in the days prior to your holiday to check that you are well; and we’ll also check your temperature prior to boarding. If you do have a high temperature you may be requested not to travel, for the benefit of other passengers. Our travel insurance does provide full cover for such eventualities. We would appreciate that you wear a face covering when boarding and during all journeys, (except for passengers with exemptions).

Our couriers will wear a mask and will have antibacterial gel available. You will be requested please to sanitise your hands prior to boarding for all journeys.

Passengers who live together in the same household or are part of a social ‘bubble’ may sit together on a double seat. Where this occurs, the seat opposite, next to the aisle must not be used.

Please try to maintain 2 metre social distancing wherever possible during your holiday.

Our coaches, mini-buses and our ‘Comfort Stop’ are safe and sanitised with extensive and thorough cleaning.

Our drivers will ensure that his hands are sanitised at all times when handling your luggage.

Our coach air-conditioning systems have been upgraded to ensure the delivery of clean, filtered air, which helps to prevent the spread of germs.

We are also delighted to provide the following special new provisions: ၣ Social distancing on board – All our holidays will be operated by our ‘club class’ coaches,

COVID-19 ASSURANCE

with seating reduced from 49 to just 30 passengers. Our high back, front facing seats provide extra protection and all touch points are cleaned daily. ၣ Fully Flexible Bookings – You can transfer your deposit to another holiday completely free of charge at any time before the final payment date (this excludes travel insurance premiums as these are non-refundable). Conditions do apply for some holidays. And don’t forget that if you booked your holiday from the list provided back in July 2020 and the itinerary provided in this brochure is not what you were hoping for, then again, you can transfer to another holiday free of charge. ၣ Covid-19 Travel Insurance - If sadly, you have to miss your holiday due to having symptoms or being required to self-isolate, our travel insurance policy conditions and inclusions have been upgraded to include Covid: 19 cover. ၣ Door to Door Service - From 7 to 5 - Our mini-bus capacity is reduced to 5 passengers’ maximum, to enhance social distancing. Personalised one address pick-ups can also be arranged for a supplementary charge.

As mentioned above, we very much hope that by summer 2021, this dreadful Pandemic will be over and that our lives and holidays can return more or less to normal. However the above provisions and of course any new requirements will remain in place until we are advised otherwise by our government!

Following the recent government guidelines (of October 2020) with regard to Tiers 1, 2 and 3; we are pleased to provide the following flexible arrangements: If you find yourself in a Tier 3 area and are unable to join us: You can transfer all monies paid to another Holiday free of charge. 2. If we have to cancel a holiday due to it going to a Tier 3 area: Again, you can transfer all monies paid to another Holiday – free of charge! 3. We need to reserve the right to cancel your Holiday at any time due to the loss of passengers residing in Tier 3 areas, (as in no. 1 above). Once again, all monies paid can be transferred to another holiday free of charge. 1.

(Please note with items 1, 2 and 3 above, that this provision excludes travel insurance premiums as these are non-refundable).

Our updated travel insurance now provides cover for cancellation and curtailment due to illness caused by Coronavirus. At this difficult time we strongly recommend that customers do take out travel insurance.

Rest assured, you are in safe hands!

2021 BIRDWATCHING & WILDLIFE BREAKS Escorted by Ashley Grove

Puffins - Skomer Island

From a very young age, Ashley’s passion for nature and the great outdoors was obvious. Initially taking inspiration from his parents, he was soon pointing out new species of birds to them in their Warwickshire garden. Life does however have its restrictions, the need for a “proper” job being one of those, so Birds and Photography were relegated to hobbies for some time. However alongside the day jobs, Ashley has volunteered for the RSPB for many years and was asked by his local group in 2006 to give a talk, being already established as a very capable wildlife photographer.

This was to be the beginning of a big change and now as a recommended speaker for the RSPB, BTO & Royal Horticultural Society, Ashley gives around 50 talks a year. Subject matter for the talks is taken from his travels, which began in The Gambia and so became the obvious destination for his first guided tour. ‘Experience Nature’ have now run 15 holidays to The Gambia, many breaks to the Spanish Pyrenees, Trinidad & Tobago, Sri Lanka, Sweden and various British destinations, with more places in the pipeline at home and abroad. Johnsons are proud to announce that 2021 will be our 4th year of working in partnership with Ashley and the tours we will be featuring are listed on Pages 46 - 49

ACTIVE TRAVELLER

Where facilities allow, these breaks will include an evening talk by Ashley, who is a recommended speaker by the RSPB and Royal Horticultural Society. Each of Ashley’s informative talks are illustrated with images from his stunning wildlife portfolio and punctuated with entertaining anecdotes of his experiences in the field.

On all Tours we will spend time outdoors regardless of the weather. Please bring sensible clothing and wear strong shoes or boots, as it can be wet and muddy. Our Active Traveller Holiday itineraries often include walks which may be up to 1 – 1.5 miles long over uneven ground which may prove challenging for those customers with reduced and limited mobility. What else could you bring? Binoculars are recommended, and you may wish to bring a small bird guide book to help with identification or a compact digital camera, but this is entirely up to you!

You may be lucky enough to hear the boom of a bittern coming from the reedbed. Friday The RSPB nature reserve in Arne is a nature lover and bird watching paradise. The reserve is a vast expanse of heath and woodland bordering on Poole Harbour. The area is famed for the diverse birdlife. Twitchers are well catered for with hides scattered all over the area in opportunistic locations. The Arne peninsular is popular in all seasons due to its unique visitors and prolific mating seasons.

Titchwell RSPB

Pembrokeshire is a happy hunting ground for birdwatchers, offering them the opportunity to ‘ twitch’ to their hearts content, such is the variety of birdlife on display. The harvest of ticks in boxes has the potential to be colossal with the choice of seabirds, songbirds, raptors, waders, wildfowl, corvines, ocean wanderers, warblers, finches - the list is endless.

Included Excursions

Thursday We travel deep into Wales pausing en-route at the RSPB Newport Wetlands, before arriving in Carmarthen for our 4-night stay. Friday A morning trip to Kidwelly Quay to watch the wading birds at high tide. Later, we visit Dinas RSPB and RSPB Gwenffrwddinas, Ystradff in, at Llandovery. Puffins Saturday Lying less than a mile off the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast, is the world renowned wildlife paradise of Skomer Island. The exposed headlands, towering offshore rocks, and sheltered inlets of this fascinating island are home to an incredible variety of wildlife, both above and below the surface. Skomer is the largest of Pembrokeshire’s islands at around 730 acres. It is owned by NRW (Natural Resources Wales), and managed by The Wildlife Trust of South & West Wales. The island’s isolation means that there are no ground predators present on the island. For this reason Skomer has become one of the world’s most important habitats for burrow nesting seabirds. Sunday This morning we visit Whiteford Nature Reserve followed by an afternoon trip to Rhossili (Worms Head). Monday Homeward bound.

Norfolk is second to none as a county to see birds all year round. It is not renowned for just the sheer quantity of good birds to be seen but also for the quality of them. Many resident species are either not found elsewhere or are localised. Add to this the regular appearance of Scarce Migrates or National Rarities and it is obvious why birders return time and time again to Norfolk at all times of the year, year after year.

Included Excursions

Monday – We travel out to Norfolk via Lakenheath (RSPB) Tuesday - Titchwell RSPB Reserve Wednesday - Waxham, Winterton & Horsey Mere, with an evening talk from Ashley Thursday - Seal Cruise & Cley Norfolk Wildlife Trust taking in Blakeney Point & Cley Marshes (Norfolk Wildlife Trust), Inc a Seal Cruise.

Birds are on the move from their breeding grounds heading to over-winter in milder climates and due to its location, the Scilly ’s can be a landing ground for birds from America to Siberia and anywhere in between. Weather conditions depict what might drop in, but there is always plenty to see with Black Redstart, Firecrest, Purple Sandpiper, Lapland Bunting, Hoopoe and Rose Coloured Starling being regular migrants. Should the weather deliver from the west, birds like American Robin and the Black & White Warbler are all possible. There is an active grapevine on the islands, with new birds being reported regularly as they are found and evenings have a log call of the day’s bird sightings, which is a fun social gathering of birding tales and adventures.

As birdwatching sites for Wildfowl and Waders go, the Solway Firth is globally important, with tens of thousands of birds overwintering here between October and February. The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust reserve of Caerlaverock will be at the centre of our activities, boasting flocks of up to 40,000 Barnacle Geese from Arctic Svalbard, which share the wetlands with Pinkfooted & White-fronted Geese, Whooper Swans and various wading birds.

You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card

issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme. Your payments for Sea Cruise Holidays in this brochure are protected through our membership of the Association of Bonded Travel Organisers Trust Limited (ABTOT). We have provided a bond to meet the requirements of the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992. In the event of our insolvency, if you have not yet travelled you may claim a refund, or if you have already travelled, you may claim repatriation to the starting point of your holiday, which is your home.

2. BOOKING & PAYMENT

When a booking is made, the ‘lead name’ on the booking guarantees that he or she is 18 or over and has the authority and accepts on behalf of the party the terms of these booking conditions and pays the deposit indicated in the brochure and as confirmed in the pre-contract information. After we receive your booking and all appropriate payments, if the arrangements you wish to book are available, we will send you or your booking agent a confirmation invoice within 14 days. This confirmation will include any special requests we have agreed. All monies paid to your booking agent are held by them on your behalf until we issue our confirmation invoice, thereafter your booking agent holds the money on our behalf. A binding agreement will come into existence between us when we dispatch this invoice to the ‘lead name’ or your booking agent. Please check the confirmation carefully to ensure all the information is correct. This contract is governed by English Law, and the jurisdiction of the English Courts. Single occupancy of rooms, when available, may be subject to a supplementary charge and these will be shown in the brochure. You can book by paying a deposit for each person named on the booking but our commitment is always conditional upon the balance being paid as below; Deposit Payments: £75 per person for all coach holidays in Britain and Europe. £250 per person on all air holidays For all Ocean Cruise Holidays a 20% deposit is required on the total holiday cost Cheques should be made payable to: Johnsons (Henley) Ltd In some instances your accommodation and tour providers require a higher deposit than that stated above. In these instances we reserve the right to charge a higher deposit. If you choose to purchase holiday insurance, the premium must be paid at the time of booking, in addition to the holiday deposit cost. Your balance is due 8 weeks before departure date for all British and European coach holidays. 10 weeks before departure date for all air holidays and 14 weeks for cruise holidays up to 31 Dec 2020 and then 18 week for Cruise holiday departing after 1st January 2021.

Trading Charter

If you book within our balance due period, you will need to pay the total holiday cost at the time of booking. If the balance is not paid in time we reserve the right to cancel your holiday, retain your deposit, and apply the cancellation charges set out in the paragraph below. The date of cancellation will normally be the date we receive your written confirmation that you intend to cancel or 15 days after the balance due date, whichever comes first. Where optional items are purchased as part of the holiday, these are payable on the balance due date except where items, such as theatre tickets, have been specifically purchased for you. In this case the cost may be payable at a separate date notified to you and will not normally be refunded unless we obtain a refund from the supplier we use.

3. BROCHURE ACCURACY

Although Johnsons Coach Travel make every effort to ensure the accuracy of the brochure information and pricing, regrettably errors do sometimes occur. You must therefore ensure you check the price and all other details of your holiday with us at the time of booking and when you receive our confirmation invoice.

4. OUR PRICING POLICY

Johnsons Coach Travel endeavour to ensure that the most up to date and correct prices are shown in our brochure. Occasionally, an incorrect price may be shown, due to an error. When we become aware of any such error, we will endeavour to notify you at the time of booking (if we are then aware of the mistake) or as soon as reasonably possible. We reserve the right to cancel the booking if you do not wish to accept the price which is applicable to the holiday. Local Authorities in many towns and cities throughout Europe have introduced new tourist taxes which must be paid directly to the hotel by all guests in person. These taxes are not included in our prices but we will notify you when applicable. Holiday prices include all travel, hotel accommodation and meals as specified in the holiday description and VAT payable in the UK where applicable. The price of the holiday will not be subjected to any surcharges except those arising from exchange rate changes, transportation including the price of fuel, air & ferry operator fares and tolls, embarkation or disembarkation fees at terminals, duties and taxes (including the rate of VAT). Even in these cases we will absorb the cost equivalent to the cost of first 2% of the holiday price. Amounts more than this plus £1 administration fee and Travel Agents commission will be surcharged to you. If this means the total cost of the holiday increases by more than 10% then you are entitled to cancel your holiday and receive a full refund of all monies paid except any insurance premium and amendment charges. We will communicate the options with you either through email or letter, with a reminder if necessary. If you exercise the right to cancel we must receive written notice within 14 days of the date of the surcharge invoice. The currency exchange rate used in the holiday costings are based on rates as at 1st October 2018.

If, after our confirmation has been issued, you wish to change to another of our holidays or change departure date, we will do our utmost to make the changes, but we cannot guarantee to do so. However, notification must be received in writing at our offices from the person who signed the booking form. This must be accompanied by a payment of £20 to cover our administrative costs, plus costs we incur in making the amendment. Alterations may not be able to be made within 6 weeks of departure and any such request for an alteration will be treated as a cancellation of the original booking and will be subject to the cancellation charges set out in paragraph below. Some arrangements cannot be changed without paying a cancellation charge of up to 100% of the ticket cost. Where Air Travel and Ocean Cruises are included in your holiday the administration charge may differ dependant on the individual Airline or Cruise Company involved and the charge they make for the transfer of a booking.

6. CAN YOU CHANGE THE PRICE OF MY PACKAGE AFTER YOU HAVE ISSUED THE BOOKING CONFIRMATION?

On all coach holidays, we operate a ‘No Surcharge Guarantee’. The price of your coach holiday is fully guaranteed and will not be subject to any surcharges. All air and cruise holidays are subject to surcharges linked to fuel costs. The only surcharges which will apply are those levied by airlines or cruise companies which are beyond our control.

7. TRANSFERRING YOUR BOOKING

You can transfer your booking to somebody else but the person must satisfy all the conditions of the holiday and you must inform us either by letter or email no less than 7 days before departure. This transfer will cost £20 plus reasonable costs to make the transfer. You will remain responsible for ensuring payment. This is in addition to (and does not affect) the separate responsibility of the transferee to us.

8. IF YOU NEED TO CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAY

You or any member of your party may cancel your holiday at any time provided the cancellation is made by the person signing the booking form and is communicated to us in writing via the office who made your original booking. You must pay cancellation charges to cover our administration costs and to compensate for the risk of us not reselling the holiday. If the holiday is resold a refund will be made. Your cancellation will take effect from the date on which we or our agent receive your written confirmation of your cancellation. You must also return any tickets or vouchers you have received. A reduction in room occupancy may increase the charges for the remaining passengers by the application of supplements for low occupancy of rooms. Where bought in supplies, such as ferries, hotel accommodation etc have been bought in on your behalf, and where the terms and conditions of the supplier are non-refundable, these products will be charged to you at the full retail rate. If this applies, the non-refundable items will be deducted from your holiday costs and the following scale of charges (See Point 9) will be applied to the remainder:

9. SCALE OF CANCELLATION CHARGES

You may cancel your holiday without paying any termination fee before the start of the holiday in the event of special circumstances, for instance if there are serious security problems at the

destination which are likely to affect the package.

planned many months in advance, we sometimes do need to make minor changes. We reserve the right to do this at any time. We will let you or your booking agent know about any important changes as soon as possible, including the minimum number of passengers required on the trip. If after booking, and before departure, we make a major change to your holiday, you will have the option of withdrawing from the holiday without penalty or transferring to another holiday without any charge. In either case, we will pay you compensation, according to the scale set below. A major change includes the time of your departure or return time by more than 12 hours, a change in departure point, location of resort or type of hotel, a change in cross channel travel. If we tell you about any of these changes after we have confirmed your holiday booking (other than force majeure), you may either: • • •

accept the new arrangements offered by us; or accept a replacement holiday from us of equivalent or similar standard and price (at the date of the change), if we can offer you one; or cancel your holiday with us and receive a full refund of all monies

Either way, we will pay you compensation, using the Compensation table shown. (See Point 11)

You are also advised to check with The Foreign and Commonwealth Office Advice Unit regularly at www.fco.gov.uk/travel prior to travel. All holidays operate if the minimum number of participants is met. However, in no case will we cancel your holiday less than 6 weeks before the scheduled departure date, except where you have failed to pay the final balance or because of force majeure (force majeure means an event which we or the suppliers of the services in question could not foresee or avoid and is therefore beyond our control)

12. OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU

We accept responsibility for ensuring the holiday which you book with us is supplied as described in our publicity material and the services offered reach a reasonable standard and if you are in difficulty we will assist you. If any part of our holiday contract is not provided as promised, you may terminate the contract without paying a termination fee and we will pay you appropriate compensation if this has affected your enjoyment of your holiday. We will however, not be liable if there are any unforeseeable or unavoidable action of a third party not connected with our travel services, or there were unavoidable or extraordinary circumstances, or the lack of conformity is due to a traveller in the party. We accept responsibility for the acts and/or omissions of our employees, agents and suppliers except where they lead to death, injury or illness. Our liability in all cases shall be limited to a maximum of twice the value of the original holiday cost (not including insurance premiums and amendment charges). We accept responsibility for death, injury, or illness caused by the negligent acts and/or omissions of our employees or agents together with our suppliers and sub-contractors, servants and/or agents of the same whilst acting within the scope of, or during their employment in the provision of your holiday. We will accordingly pay to our clients such damages as might have been awarded in such circumstances under English Law. In respect of carriage by air, sea, tunnel and rail and the provision of accommodation our liability in all cases will be limited in the manner provided by the relevant international convention. If we make any payment to you or any member of your party for death or personal injury or illness, you will be asked to assign to us or our insurers the rights you may have to act against the person or organisation responsible for causing the death, personal injury or illness. This clause does not apply to any separate contracts that you may enter for excursions or activities during or outside of your holiday. If you or any member of your party suffer death, illness or injury whilst overseas arising out of an activity which does NOT form part of your holiday, we may offer guidance and where legal action is contemplated and you want our assistance, you must obtain our written consent prior to any proceedings (We limit the cost of our assistance to you or your party to £5000 per party).

13. IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT

If you have a problem during your holiday, please inform your Tour Manager, your Driver or the relevant Supplier/Resort Representative immediately who will endeavour to put things right. If your complaint cannot be completely resolved locally, you must complete a Holiday Report Form which can be obtained by your Driver or local Representative, which you should keep. Our contact number, for unresolved complaints will be our office number on 01564 797000 (Open in Office Hours). If you remain dissatisfied please follow this up within 14 days of your return home by writing to the Quality Co-ordinator at Johnsons Coach Travel, giving your original booking reference number and all other relevant information, including the reference of the Holiday Report

Trading Charter

129

Form. It is therefore a condition of this contract that you communicate any problem to the supplier of the services in question AND to our Representative whilst in resort and obtain a written report form. If you fail to follow this simple procedure, we cannot accept responsibility, as we have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify the problem. Should your complaint not be resolved and you wish to pursue the complaint further the Bonded Coach Holiday Group have an Alternative Dispute Resolution scheme and full details are available from BCH/CPT. Please contact them at, the Confederation of Passenger Transport, Fifth Floor South, Chancery House, 53-64 Chancery Lane, London. WC2A 1QS.

14. OUR COACHES SEATING ARRANGEMENTS

We will always use our reasonable endeavours to provide a coach to the specification in our brochure or advert, but reserve the right to substitute an alternative vehicle should there be unforeseen circumstances. There is a seating plan but, in some cases, operational reasons may require a coach with a different configuration. We reserve the right to alter a coach seating plan and allocate seats other than those booked. Single passengers may be required to share a double seat with other single passengers. When your booking is confirmed, you will be given a choice of seats that are available at that time. Specific seats will not be allocated on coaches operating a feeder service between joining points and main holiday departure points or on coaches that carry out transfers between airports, seaports etc. If you feel that you require two seats, then these must be purchased in advance at the time of booking. If you fail to do this and it transpires that the seat allocated is insufficient for your needs and there is no alternative seating available, then you will be refused access to the coach and any payments made will be liable to forfeiture.

15. HOTELS & HOTEL FACILITIES

Some hotel facilities and entertainment may be withdrawn for routine maintenance or be subject to seasonal availability and provision of the facilities cannot be guaranteed. Single occupancy of rooms may be subject to a supplementary charge. En-Suite Bedroom Facilities: All hotel bedrooms for every holiday are ‘en-suite’. This means that a private bath and/or shower and WC is included within the bedroom. Should you have a preference for a bath or a shower please make a request in the ‘Special Requests’ box on the appropriate booking form. Half-board always means dinner, bed and breakfast, unless otherwise stated. Meals in Continental Hotels: Whilst all hotels that we book for our continental holidays, whether they be overnight or main resort hotels, are of a high standard, would you kindly note that dinner arrangements often include a set meal with no menu choice and are generally of a traditional style for that country. Breakfasts are always of Continental style; however, buffet Continental breakfasts are included. Evening meals may be served on a buffet style basis. Single Room Occupancy: Single occupancy of rooms when available may be subject to a supplementary charge and this will be shown on the brochure page. Also, these charges may vary once we have exceeded the available rooms within our initial allocation from the hotel. Any applicable supplementary charges will be advised to you at the time of booking by a member of our Reservations Team. Entertainment: Some of our hotels arrange additional entertainment. Where this is part of the package details are given on the respective brochure page. Where it is not specified it may still be available but is at the discretion of the hotel and is not guaranteed. It may be withdrawn if there is a lack of demand or for operational reasons.

16. HEALTH & SAFETY

In some foreign countries, standards of infrastructure, safety and hygiene may be lower than those to which we are accustomed in the UK. You should therefore exercise greater care for your own protection. There may be countries that we visit that have special medical requirements for tourists. These regulations are subject to change and our clients are responsible for complying with entry and current health requirements. If you are not sure of the health requirements for the country you are visiting, you are advised to check with your own GP before travelling. You are also advised to refer to the Department of Health leaflet “Health Advice for Travellers”. Some people may be at risk from discomfort or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) if they remain immobile on a journey for a long period. If you are planning to undertake a journey of more than three hours, you should consult your doctor, if you have ever had DVT, pulmonary embolism, a family history of clotting conditions, cancer or treatment for cancer, stroke, and heart or lung disease or If you have had major surgery in the past three months. We reserve the right to refuse any booking in the absence of a doctor’s certificate confirming that you are fit to travel. Where we provide comfort stops you are encouraged to walk around. Exercise reduces any discomfort, which may be caused by periods of immobility. SMOKING is not allowed on our coaches (including E-Cigarettes) and we do not allow pets or any other animals, although we accommodate registered assistance dogs, but not on overseas holidays.

17. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS, ITINERARIES, PICK-UP POINTS AND PASSPORTS

For all Continental holidays, you will require a full 10-year British Passport (machine readable) valid for the period required for the country or countries you are visiting. If you do not hold a full British Passport or you have any doubts about your status as a resident British subject, you must check with the Embassy or Consulates of the Countries to be visited to confirm the Passport or visa requirements when you book. We cannot accept responsibility if passengers are not in possession of the correct travel documents. For full details on passport requirements, please contact ‘the identity and passport service’ on 0300 222 0000 (www.direct.gov.uk)” You are responsible for ensuring you are at the correct departure point, at the correct time and with the correct documents. Johnsons Coach Travel reserve the right to modify itineraries to conform with requests from competent authorities both within the UK and abroad. Excursions which are included in the cost of your booking are detailed on the brochure page and refunds will not be made for excursions not taken. Optional excursions booked and paid for in resort do not form part of your booking. Admission fees to buildings may not be included in the price of the holiday, please check.

18. SPECIAL REQUESTS

All special needs and requests, if agreed, should be entered on the booking form and be included in the confirmation of the holiday. These cannot be guaranteed except where confirmed as part of our holiday commitment to you and are detailed on your holiday booking confirmation. We are keen to ensure that we plan the arrangements for your holiday so that special needs and requests can be accommodated as far as possible. If you will need assistance, or may be unable to fully enjoy all aspects of your holiday you must tell us in advance so that we can maximise your enjoyment of the holiday. We will need to know if you will need special facilities in the hotel, taking part in the excursions or have difficulty boarding and travelling on the coach or other means of transport. Before booking your holiday, you should be sure that you and your party are both physically and mentally capable of completing the itinerary. If you need advice or further information, you or your booking agent should contact our Reservations Team. If you will require a special diet please tell us at the time of booking, or as soon as you are medically advised, together with a copy of the diet.

130

19. GROUND OR LOW FLOOR ROOMS

You should also tell us about any other requests, for example, low floor rooms, particular rooms or locations. We will pass your request to the relevant supplier but this does not necessarily mean that your request will be fulfilled. If a request can be fulfilled you may incur an extra charge payable either to us or direct to the hotel. Please note that requests cannot be guaranteed unless we confirm on your booking confirmation that this is a guaranteed requirement.

20. PASSENGERS WITH DISABILITIES

We want everyone to enjoy our travel arrangements. We are happy to advise and assist you in choosing a suitable holiday. But, as some of the accommodation and resorts featured may not cater for even minor disabilities, it is important that, when booking, you advise us of any disability, specific need or complex need you may have and any special requirements that will make sure the holiday is suitable. If a passenger requires personal assistance (for example, assistance with feeding, dressing, toileting, mobilising) then this passenger must travel with an able-bodied companion or carer and written confirmation that such assistance will be provided for the entirety of the holiday is required at the time of booking. Coach Drivers/Tour Managers are unable to provide such assistance. IMPORTANT You must tell us if you have an existing medical condition, disability or complex need that may affect your holiday or other group members’ enjoyment of it, before you book your holiday. We reserve the right to request a doctor’s certificate confirming the passenger is fit to travel. If, in our reasonable opinion, your chosen holiday is not suitable for your medical condition or disability, we reserve the right to refuse your booking. You are responsible for bringing with you the proper clothing and equipment, which we advise you about in our printed trip information. We want you to enjoy your holiday and will help you select an appropriate trip. Whilst we will make every reasonable adjustment to do so, if we are unable to accommodate the needs of a passenger or believe that the medical condition or disability of a passenger is likely to adversely affect other passengers, we reserve the right to decline the booking. We also reserve the right to cancel any holiday and impose cancellation charges if we are not fully advised of any relevant disability or medical condition at the time the booking is made and subsequently decide that we are unable to accommodate this passenger. This applies whether we advise that we are unable to accommodate a passenger either before departure or during the holiday and if this occurs during the holiday then we will seek the additional costs of returning the passenger home. We want you to enjoy your package and will try to help you select an appropriate trip. If you need advice or further information either you or your booking agent should contact 01564 797000.

21. MOBILITY SCOOTER POLICY

Please note that we can accept one ‘compact’ electric mobility scooter per holiday. Our definition of ‘compact’ is that the scooter is class 1 specification; i.e. it must be designed to be dismantled, so that it can be loaded into the boot of a car. The actual maximum sizes of class 1 mobility scooters are: Length – 1200mm Width – 700mm max | Maximum Weight - 60Kgs (We cannot accept class 2 scooters as these are too large and heavy to lift). Furthermore, would all users of scooters and wheelchairs kindly note that you must be able to negotiate the five steps to board the coach, in order to manage and enjoy our holidays.

22. PASSENGER BEHAVIOUR

We want all our customers to have a happy and carefree holiday. You are responsible for your behaviour and hygiene and the effect it may have on others. If you or any other member of your party is abusive, disruptive or behaves in a way that could cause damage or injury to others or affect their enjoyment of their holiday or which could damage property, we have the right to terminate your contract with us and we will have no further liability or obligation to you. If you are refused boarding on the outward journey we will regard it as a cancellation by you and we will apply cancellation charges. If the refusal is on your return journey, we have the right to terminate the contract with you. We also request that mobile telephones are not used on the coach save for exceptional circumstances.

23. TRAVEL INSURANCE

We strongly advise that you take out personal travel insurance for the trip. Details of our travel insurance is outlined within this leaflet. You must advise us of details of the insurer and the emergency assistance company that will be providing cover for your holiday, together with the policy number and a 24 hour contact number. The insurance should cover medical and repatriation costs, personal injury, loss of baggage and cancellation charges. If you do not have adequate insurance and require our assistance during your holiday, we reserve the right to reclaim from you any medical repatriation or other expenses which we may incur on your behalf which would otherwise have been met by insurers. You must advise us if you use an alternative insurer, the policy number and 24 hour contact number.

24. LUGGAGE

Please restrict your luggage to one medium sized suitcase (a medium sized suitcase is approximately 36” x 18” x 10”) per person, weighing no more than 44lbs (20Kgs). A small holdall can also be taken on board the coach. We cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to luggage unless it is established that it is caused by our negligence.
