Holiday Exhibition latest.....

Unfortunately, the Disabled Motorcyclists Association has had to pull out of the exhibition - so we have plenty of room for one or two more exhibitors.  So if you  would like to join us as an exhibitor give Danny Start a call on 0151 298 3281 or email danny@neurosupport.org.uk

Just a reminder: the cost is £20 for charities and £75 for businesses. If you’d like to talk about anything - just give Danny a call.

So, the list of exhibitors is:

So only 48 hours or so until an enjoyable and information packed event—come along and join the fun and games.

(Oh and did I tell you there’s a raffle—LFC signed football, National Express tickets to wherever you want to go in the British Isles, Rough Guides to Accessible Britain and fine Cypriot wine….)

Sitting on top of the hill above the lake is the beautiful white village of Iznajar…  I can hear the gentle thrum of Spanish guitars…

    The full list of exhibitors is:

    HAFOD Holidays (Accessible and Assisted Breaks)

    HAFOD is a family run guest house/ bed and breakfast with a twist! It is a bungalow with a rural backdrop surrounded by fields on the border to Wales near Oswestry, Shropshire. John Jones of HAFOD says “I have worked in Health Care for over thirty years and found that finding holidays for disabled people, who require help with their basic needs, is almost non existent! Last year I decided to leave the NHS and utilise my knowledge and skills by opening up our home to provide accessible holidays for people who might need a bit of extra help.”

    HAFOD offers a pick-up/ drop off service (Sunday to Sunday) in it’s, wheelchair accessible, Fiat Doblo. Care is also provided and plenty of outings to places of local interest. HAFOD caters for those who wish to have an individually tailored break. Examples of this are: watercolour painting at Lake Vernwy, horseriding at Llynclys Riding School, cardmaking and scrapbooking, making birdboxes and gifts for friends, baking bread and scrumptious cakes—as well as all the usual sightseeing, and visits to museums and garden centres. HAFOD’s aim is to enable YOU to set the pace for your own enjoyment.

    HAFOD does not print it’s price list as each individual has a different set of requirements. John Jones says “We are just an email or phone call away! We have been inspected and approved by Disabled Holiday Info and are also on their website in more detail. However our bed & breakfast only rates start from £30 p.p.p.n.for 2 people sharing our large wheelchair friendly room with ensuite wetroom.”

    You can contact HAFOD by telephone, 01691 830437, and the website is www.hafodbandb.co.uk. HAFOD looks forward to hearing from you! Carers welcome at special rates.
