Mid-Valley
Travel Club

 

Schedule for 2008–09

 

The Mid-Valley Travel Club's steady growth in attendance, averaging around 70 and ranging up to a high of 90, reflects the quality of presentations offered by Club members, for which we are most grateful.

Our 15th season provides coverage of both commonly and less commonly visited European regions, together with five, somewhat less accessible destinations in Asia, Africa, and Canada, which may tempt you to wander off your usual beaten track. How many of you have been to Zanzibar?

The Mid-Valley Travel Club encourages new voices, and we are delighted to feature no less than six this year. The other four speakers are veterans of earlier years. Last season's presenters, however excellent, were deliberately excluded, in order to give others a chance, but they will be eligible again in 2009-2010. They, and the rest of you, should start planning ahead, as many of the slots for 2009-10 are already provisionally or firmly reserved for volunteers who could not be accommodated this season. I look forward to hearing from some of you.
