Travel to these events is usually by coach. We are doing occasional ‘Dial-a-Ride’ trips for those unable to use the regular coach or train visits.
All trips can be booked at the Theatre Desk at the Horizons Coffee Morning. All bookings must be accompanied by full payment (payable to Aughton and Ormskirk U3A). A single seat per cheque, please, and no cash! If there is any difficulty please see us.
Here are the new ‘theatre trips’ programme for the next few months although more could be ‘tucked in’ between now and Christmas!
SPECIAL NOTE: We are given a very limited time to pay for some of the larger productions so if you want to see those with a ★, don’t take too long to decide. Book a.s.a.p.
