Why do we have to sign up for trips at Free Tea?
Trips require advance planning and booking. This can be done only once enough people have registered their interest for the trip (else the club would expose itself to the risk of financial losses). This is why we organise an event (free tea) where people can decide which trip to join.
Why do we have to stay in groups with at least one leader during the trips?
We are required by the University to run trips in this way. See the Code of Practice and Trip Leader Safety Document for more information.
