HASSRA North East - Regional Trips and Events
Welcome to the North East trips an events page. Please read the instructions on the adverts carefully before applying for an event. Emails must be sent to the trips inbox ONLY from 9am on the date stated. This is HASSRA.NORTHEASTTRIPSANDEVENTS@DWP.GOV.UK
Emails must be received after the opening time stated on the advert. Any emails received before the time will be deleted and not acknowledged
The receipt of an email at 9am does not guarantee a place on an event as they are often over subscribed and places are allocated on a first come first served basis and we have no control over the order in which emails are delivered to the inbox. Please be aware HASSRA NE has over 7500 members so you may not be the only one applying for the trip
We have a budget for each event to adhere to and it's not always practical to simply put on an extra coach or to purchase additional tickets.
Please remember the organisers of the events are volunteers and endeavour to ensure the majority of requests are met.

We’re hoping to restart our trips programme in October & November but obviously this will depend on Government guidance at that time.
We have weekend trips booked to York & Harrogate, Glasgow & Edinburgh in October and a weekend trip Chatsworth at Christmas and a day trip to Leeds in November. Full details are below.
COVID-19 VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL TRIPS
The numbers we can accommodate will be restricted due to social distancing on coaches and you will be required to wear a face mask while on board the coach. Coaches have been fitted with screens, sanitiser etc. in line with Government guidance.
You can only sit together on the coach and share a hotel room if you are from the same household or are in a social bubble. Otherwise you will need to book a single room and pay the single room supplement. You will be responsible for booking correctly for your own safety and the safety of other travellers.
Our usual cancellation policy applies. If you confirm your booking with payment and then decide to cancel for any reason you will only get a refund if we can get replacements to fill your places. However, if HASSRA cancel the trip refunds will be given.
