Type of Trip
There are three types of trips that the will be (part) organised by us, they are-

Type A - Fully organised (official trips), this includes travel, accommodation and of course match tickets.
Type B - Partially organised usually for home matches, this includes accommodation and match tickets. However, travel arrangements will need to be made by individual members or groups of members
Type C - Tickets only, usually for away matches. We will travel to away matches fully organised (most notable one is our first European away match) but for other away matches that are not Type A, tickets will be organised but both travel and accommodation will need to be organised by individual members or groups of members.

 
Common Sense Rules

For successful trips to matches and to be fair to all members, some common sense rules have been agreed. These include but are not limited to:

No credit and all money paid in advance of travel, this includes all costs, travel, accommodation and tickets.

Deposits will have to be made to secure your place with full monies payed closer to the time. All deposits are non-refundable. We think this is the only fair way to stop the branch from losing money by people pulling out.

If you have payed all money for a trip and have to pull out, for whatever reason, we will do our best to refund whatever we can, eg price of match tickets or accommodation but we cannot guarantee this or the amount that will be refunded. Costs to the branch will have to be covered first, eg if we can't get a refund for travel costs then we can't refund you.

First come, first served basis. This is the only fair way for very popular matches. Our regular place for accommodation (and site sponsor) has 23 beds available and has guaranteed us all 23 if we give him a months notice.

Ideally all money should be payed weeks in advance. Match tickets and accommodation can be payed for up to 7 days in advance (at latest) as we need this time to ensure all monies are collected, accounted for and have been transferred to the relevant people in Blackburn. Travel costs will have to be payed a full month ( or right away if match is less than a month away), in advance. Booking of flights, ferries means that your money has to be payed before a place can be booked for you.

These rules are just common sense and although might seem a bit harsh are necessary
