As you are aware we do not make a profit on the trips that we organise, therefore it is imperative that we fill all of the seats on the coaches.
We have found that some passengers forget they have made a reservation,
 or change their minds at the last minute leaving seats free that we cannot sell so near the departure date.
We apologise to our loyal passengers who have supported us, but we have had to amend the deposit system we used during the last season.

From September 2011

€5 non refundable deposit is payable at the time of reservation for all 1 day trips.
The balance will be due 4 weeks before departure date.
If the balance is not paid by the due date we reserve the right to re-sell the seats.
