We use self-drive Minibuses driven by CME members and volunteers where
possible. With Minibus hire we are unfortunately only
allowed to take CAMRA members on these trips. Spaces are limited to 16 per Minibus.
Non-members who wish to attend members only trips are encouraged to consider joining CAMRA.
Please note that for over-subscribed events we reserve the right to give priority to CME Branch members over
members of other Branches or non-members.
NB-For future events we will be using public transport where possible and taking advantage of £3 bus
fares.
