Drusilla’s Theme Park (February 2009)

There’s loads to see and do at Drusilla’s, where getting nose to nose with nature is all part of the most memorable fun family day out you can imagine! It has been voted the number 1 attraction in Sussex for days out with the kids by Southern FM listeners and Argus readers, and it is now listed 12th in the Sunday Times 50 Best Days Out in Britain.

Longleat (October 2008)

The outing to Longleat was a success with most participants, although it was such a cold day that it was difficult to completely enjoy it. However there were many memorable moments for all our members (young and old) such as the inquisitive monkeys clambering over our coach as we drove through their enclosure and the opportunity to see big cats, not in cages but roaming freely.

All in all, it was felt that this is a trip worth repeating during the warmer summer months.

Here are some of the comments we have had from children and parents:

Comment: “Seeing the animals was the most enjoyable thing.”

Our response: We feel the same!

Comment: “The coach was clean, secure and had good space for wheel chairs.”

Our response: We are happy to hear you feel this way, as we have tried to take on board comments made about our coaches on previous outings.

Paris (August 2008)

The Paris outing met with a variety of reactions, some positive, some not. However, as it included a full day outing to Disney Land, it was a success with the younger members of the group.

Here are some of the comments we have had from children and parents:

Comment: “Visiting Disney Land and going on the rides was most enjoyable.”

Our response: We totally agree.

Comment: “The coach trip was long and boring.”

Our response: When we go to places that are far away, the journey times will be quite long. However, on future long trips, we will aim to ensure that our coach has entertainment facilities on board.

Seaside trip to Eastbourne (May 2008)

The May half-term saw us down to the South coast for some sun, sea and sand. The weather had other ideas, and the blustery conditions made getting a suntan difficult, but everyone made the best of it and enjoyed themselves anyway!

Some comments from children

“I liked it!” - Kwabena Appiah-Peprah, 11

“I enjoyed the different places we went to, but I wanted it to be sunny so I could go to the seaside. I would give the overall experience 9/10!” - Sophie Douglas, 10

Gulliver's Theme Park (April 2008)

We had a lovely trip to Gulliver's Land theme park in the Easter Holidays. The park was very much geared towards children and families, and it was a big success!

Most of the feedback we received from families said that they would like to go back there again, so watch this space!
