Last years tour didn't quite happen as we would have liked, however this season we are going to make sure it ends with a fantastic and well deserved tour.

Get the date in your diaries now and start your admin.

The tour I can confirm will be a home tour departing on Friday 27th April 2018, returning Sunday 29th April 2018.

I wanted to remind people that we have an important award at the club, the tourist of the year award which is in memory of Andy Strachan. For those of you who knew Strachs, it is safe to say that he loved playing for the club, but much more than that, he loved spending time with his pals at the club and especially on tour. If Strachs was with us today, I have no doubt he would be the first person on the train and encouraging everybody to follow him on tour.

The tour destination is The Wirral, which is just across the River Mersey from Liverpool, just in case some of you got it muddled up with Writtle.

The total cost will be around £150-£160 and a £50 deposit will be required to secure your place by Friday 6th October 2017, with balance payable in full by Wednesday 28th March.

Bank details can be found in the whatsapp group or Ask any of the Captains
