Local Field Trips - 2008
Most of these are one-day trips, on Sundays, usually just outside our recording area. Since we use cars (and try to use them efficiently), we usually meet up in the centre of York in Piccadilly, outside United House. If you need help in finding this, you'll find it marked on this street map of York. The times vary, but we always leave promptly! Although we plan a destination in advance, this may be subject to change on the day, depending on "what's about"! For the evening trips we will be assembling at a different point. Watch this page for more details.

weekend trips are limited in numbers (usually 15 - 20 places). They are
very popular, so early booking is required. Unlike other events, preference
is given to Members of the Club. Once more, we again have two weekend
