Easter Tour venue announced - Marbella!

14 Oct 2014

We are delighted to announce that this season's tour will be to Marbella. We will be staying in or near Puerto Banus which boasts an excellent nightlife and is also very manageable on a student budget.

The weather will be warm(ish) and the beaches will be brimming with young Spanish/European tourists. As always, the Club will be facing off against some respectable local teams.

The Club last toured the Costa del Sol in 2000 when Nick Warner helped to organise one of the finest tours in memory, a week long stay in Puerto Banus that included three games played at the ground of a Spanish Third Division club, UD San Pedro.

Dates are planned for the Easter weekend so no need to book any annual leave. We are still negotiating the final price but we do not expect the total to exceed £350 per person. In order to lock in the best deal we will require £200 deposits within the next 10 days for those wanting to come.

If you're unfamiliar with Marbella, an insight to the city can be found here.

Please email Tour Secretary, Azhar Yaqub-Khan to register your interest.
