Interesting & Exciting European Holidays Roberts Travel Group - European Holidays, Eurostar and Cruise 2016 This year our brand new brochures for 2016 were launched at the beginning of August. The response that we had was absolutely phenomenal, with us receiving a record amount of bookings showing a big increase year on year. As our holiday’s department goes from strength to strength we have also launched our brand new product which is Rail Holidays by Eurostar and Ocean Cruising with Fred. Olsen. Both of these products are completely new for us, but they have given us the ability to offer a range of travel options for those who do not want to travel to Europe by coach. We hope that you will join us on a Eurostar trip to Paris, Brussels or Lille or why not try a cruise to the beautiful Norwegian Fjords, or to the Iberian Peninsula & Morocco? Customers who book onto our trips by Rail or Cruise, can also benefit from FREE secure parking at the depot in Hugglescote. Our Cruise and Rail programme has been very successful, so please contact us to check availability. Alongside our Cruises and Eurostar programme, we also have a wide range of European Coach Holidays. We have put together a programme that offers some interesting and exciting places to visit. As with the Cruise and Rail programme, we are very encouraged by the interest we have had already for our trips to Europe by Coach and urge anyone who would like to travel to contact us for the latest availability. All of our European Coach Holidays will be couriered by an experience Tour Manager For more information on any of our European Holidays by Coach, our Rail Holidays by Eurostar or our Cruises or to order your FREE brochures, please contact us on 01530 816425 or visit us at the Travel Centre on Midland Road, Hugglescote, LE67 2FX.

Home and Fragrance, the new giftware and homeware shop on Market Street, has become the 200th town centre business to sign up to Love Loughborough’s free recycling service. Debra Goodwin, manager of Home and Fragrance said “This is a great service and saves us money while enabling us to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill” The service is funded by Love Loughborough and delivered by Serco in partnership with Charnwood Borough Council. The service is free to town centre businesses and is now collecting about 150 tonnes of recyclable waste a year. Rupert Harrison, Chair of Love Loughborough’s Adding Value Group said “This is one of Love Loughborough’s most popular services and is part of our programme of support for town centre businesses”. Any business interested in the scheme should contact manager@bidloughborough.co.uk to find out more.
Newtown Linford Ladies Lunch Club As ever members of the Newtown Linford Ladies Lunch Club have been enjoying a varied selection of talks: sometimes serious, sometimes amusing, always informative and entertaining. In March we were amazed to hear what the charity ‘Dogs for the Disabled’ can train these remarkable animals to do for their owners, even predicting and diagnosing illness. In April we heard about ‘Mercy Ships’ which travel to distant shores where volunteer medical staff offer care that is otherwise unavailable to the local people. The May meeting brought us Graham Keal showbiz journalist amongst other things and an excellent speaker. He had many entertaining tales to tell of the people he has interviewed over the years. In June we learnt about Coco Channel. Then in September we saw how we could keep the colours going in the garden well into the autumn. Our future programme promises to be just as good with Poetry, Victorian Christmases, Belly Dancing, Birds and Painting wild animals as well as a talk entitled the ‘Amusing side of Funerals’! The August outing was to Hardwick Hall with a stop on the way at McArthur Glen designer Outlet for a bit of retail therapy. Forty members took part and had an excellent day. We meet at Forest Hill Golf Club Botcheston on the 3rd Wednesday of the month (except in December when we meet on the 2nd Wednesday). We have a three course meal followed by the talk. The atmosphere is friendly and informal. We welcome new members. If you would like to give us a try ring 0116 2304420. The cost of the meal is £16 and if you decide to join membership is £20
