Out and About Excursion Club
A weekly day trip club that runs all year round, to a variety of destinations. Places of interest, shopping centres, historic towns all feature on our list.
We use modern fleet of minibuses and people carriers which are fully accessible either by steps or passenger lift and have room for wheelchairs and walking frames. Our friendly, helpful drivers will pick you up from home and drop you off there again after a great day out.
Places are extremely limited so early booking is recommended to avoid being on the reserve list.
Individual Members
If you're not yet a member and you live in the Kyle* or Carrick** areas of South Ayrshire, it's easy to join. Just phone with your details tell us which trips you’d like to go on and then sign a membership form the first time you travel. Payment for trips can be taken on the day although we strongly advise advance payment to guarantee your place on a trip.
Contact us on the number below and we will be happy to take a card payment. If you need to cancel a booking, please give us as much notice as possible. We reserve the right to charge a fee for short notice cancellations if we can't re-fill the seat.
(*Kyle area covers Ayr, Troon, Prestwick, Tarbolton, Coylton, Monkton, Dundonald, Mossblown, and Annbank)
(**Carrick area covers Maybole, Girvan and surrounding villages)
Group Membership
We also offer our increasingly popular Group Membership for a very modest annual fee. Far more convenient to hire your own bus, design your own outings, choose where and when you want to go and come back at a time that suits you. We can provide a driver if required.
Please call 01292 270864 for more details. All application forms are available on our web site: www.sacommunitytransport.org/download-forms
