MAIDENHEAD RFC U15 RUGBY TOUR TO HOLLAND

Tour Information

The group chose a three-night tour to based on the outskirts of Tilburg in the South of Holland, in one of our most popular holiday parks which boasts a wide range of attractions for all ages. These include an indoor pool, crazy golf and an impressive safari park, which boasts giraffes, lions, rhinos and a host of other animal life. The lively town nearby with its host of cafes, restaurants, bars and excellent nightlife that continues well into the night was available to the older members of the group should they wish to venture out of the park.

Friday 11th April

The party left by coach at 08.00 hours in the presence of their Burleigh Travel representative for the journey to Dover by luxury coach and the 11.00 hours ferry to Calais. After a short crossing to France the coach transferred the group to their accommodation in Holland by 18.15 hours. The remainder of the evening was then free to make use of the excellent facilities on the complex.

Saturday 12th April

The group participated in the Spakenburg Rugby Festival open exclusively to teams booked through Burleigh Travel. Here they played games against Welsh, English and Dutch sides and Maidenhead won a hard fought final against Avonmouth.

Once the after match celebrations were complete the teams were transferred back to their accommodation to continue their celebrations.

Sunday 13th April

After breakfast the group travelled to their second fixture against RC The Bulldogs.

The visitors won convincingly and as a reward were allowed to visit the nearby capital Amsterdam in the afternoon.

The group had time free to explore this fascinating city once the after match hospitalities were completed.

This was a free day to recover from the previous days rugby and one of the options offered to the party was a trip to Holland's famous 'Efteling Theme Park' or a trip to Bruges on the way to the port for their 19.15 hours return sailing.

The Maidenhead group were a credit to their club and ambassadors for overseas tours.
