| HOLIDAY |
 |
It is a long time since our last club holiday in Croatia but a few people have shown an interest in another holiday and I have received a discount offer from Mercian Bridge holidays at a hotel I have heard good reports of, the Don Pablo in Torremolinos. It is 4 star, half board, air conditioned, has heated indoor swimming pool, offers optional bowling and has disability access. They are offering several different weeks between late October 2023 and March 2024. Bookings made before early August can reserve at £200 and the discount holiday price is £555. Flights to Malaga and the short transfer are not included but could be arranged if a group went at the same time. If anyone has any interest in this holiday, please contact me. I know the area quite well and out of season it is very pleasant.
