Next Day Trip - Tuesday 19 July 2016 - CANCELLED

Unfortunately due to insufficient bookings the committee has had no

choice but to cancel this trip.

We have enjoyed providing enjoyable and affordable outings since 2006

however due to a consistent decline in attendees over the last four trips it

has been decided to put the Day Trippers outings into abeyance for the

remainder of this year. The Committee will be reviewing the Day Trippers’

ministry with the hope of recommencing in 2017, provided there is

sufficient interest and the trips can be financially viable. We thank the

Committee and those who for many years have been supporting the Day

Trippers ministry. We apologise for any inconvenience. Fr Mark
