NB - If, on longer trips and by common consent on the coach, travellers wish to leave for home sooner after the match than scheduled, then they will do so.
Please note the closing dates for bookings, though Quinssa request that you don't leave it until the last minute to reserve your place - please book as early as you can. The Pertemps Bees match (3rd September) has an earlier closing date because Quinssa need to decide whether it is commercially viable to run a second coach (the first is already full!).
The pick-up point is at the Twickenham Stoop and the coaches usually arrive at the ground about one hour before kick-off and then leave about 30 minutes after the final whistle, to enable plenty of time for socialising with the away fans.
To book a coach place, please contact John Hartley either by email at
