From Ted Morton:
I regret to inform members participating in this tour that it has been cancelled because of lack of sufficient numbers. Our numbers have dropped to 11 members as 6 have had to withdraw because of health issues – mostly because of forthcoming operations.
I am aware that Cronulla Probus Club has a similar tour departing 3 September and they are also having difficulty with numbers. I believe Trade Travel has sent an email to our participants which offers the opportunity to join that tour as an alternative. This tour is similar, but not exactly the same.
My understanding is participants will get a partial refund of their $200 deposit, but this will be reduced by the airfare deposit ($55 person) plus any other deposits that may have been paid for other elements of the tour. Anyone who has Travel Insurance could likely claim any loss by using the Trade Travel email as evidence.
All in all, an unfortunate situation not only for us but also for Trade Travel. Should you remain interested in doing the tour at another time, I will keep a lookout for public offerings that come up next year and let you know either at a meeting or by email.
Regretfully I will not be at the August meeting owing to other travel.
My apologies for this unfortunate situation.
