Bermuda Tour bargain offer!

Sadly one couple has had to cancel their Bermuda Conference and Tour at the last minute, with only 40% of their fee refundable. They are therefore offering a package of two BA flights from Gatwick Airport on Thursday 7 June 2012, returning Tuesday 12 June (arriving UK early 13 June) and a double Room plus Breakfast in the Rosedon Hotel (which cost £2141.32) and airline minibus transfers of £34.34 per person for £1750.00. To make the transfer date the deadline is Saturday 26 May.

A couple taking up this offer will also reduce the individual cost of tours which have been booked.

Please see the itinerary and conference programme. NB: the tour costs will be paid in Bermuda. Lunches and evening meals are not included.

This bargain package will go to the first couple who send their cheque! Our BA adviser will make all the necessary transfers and arrange your tickets.

You are strongly advised to take out travel insurance.

Please contact Ann Coats asap to discuss this arrangement.
