Great Holiday ideas from frome travel company

WITH this year’s summer holiday becoming a distant memory, the launch of the new Lesmon Travel 2018 holiday brochure couldn’t have come at a better time.

Whether you are looking for a short break not too far from home, or a longer break in sunnier climes, then look no further than Lesmon Travel.

Company owner Mark Wye said, “With over 30 years’ experience of delivering great value, quality coach holidays with that personal touch, I am sure that the new brochure will have something to appeal to everyone.”

Lesmon Travel is a family-run coach holiday company based in Frome and has been offering UK and European coach holidays for over 30 years. The company is now run by Mark and Brigitte, who have taken over from Brigitte’s parents, following their well-earned retirement.

Mark said, “In 2018 we will be running a wide choice of tours to both UK and Continental European destinations including a fantastic tour to the Loire Valley in France, with wine and cheese tasting and visits to a couple of chateaux and gardens; a tour to Tuscany, one of the most beautiful parts of Italy; the Isle of Man and an eight-day tour to the stunning Scottish Highlands.

“Our English tours include four and five day tours covering from St Ives in the West to Cromer in the East, and from Warner Lakeside on Haying Island and the Isle of Wight in the South to Hadrian’s Wall and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne in the North.

“If that doesn’t quite cover the whole country, we also have tours to Blackpool, Scarborough, Exmouth, Eastbourne and Torquay.

“There will also be tours to Tenby & the National Botanical Gardens of Wales, Llandudno & the Little Trains of North Wales and Arras & Lille Christmas Markets, as well as our regular choice of Turkey & Tinsel tours and a special Mother’s Day weekend tour, which includes a complimentary Mother’s Day gift.

“We believe in making your holiday that extra bit special by providing a very personal level of service and, we like to think, a unique holiday experience, from our complimentary door-to-door pick up service, right through to our fully inclusive excursions on all tours.

“We have a relatively small catchment area, so our pick-ups for each tour generally take around an hour from start to finish, something many other companies simply cannot deliver.

“The coaches we use for our holidays are typically only a year or two old, and have all the features you would expect from such modern vehicles, such as climate control, a toilet and tea and coffee facilities. We don’t have any overnight travel on our tours, and make regular stops on the journeys, to make sure you get to enjoy your holiday in full, from the first day to the last”.

Mark had over 20 years’ experience of delivering first-rate customer service in his previous career as a store manager in the food retail industry.

“While the products are different, the importance of good customer services is just as vital now, if not even more so,” he added. “Peace of mind is also important to people booking their holiday and with this in mind, we are fully bonded with ABTOT.

“We still have limited availability on the tours for the rest of 2017, and the 2018 tours have started selling really well, so give us a call so you don’t miss out. To book a tour, for a copy of the full brochure or for more details on any of the tours please give us a call on 01373 472289 or visit our website at www. lesmontravel.co.uk.”

  • Christmas stories at local pub

A Frome storyteller will share three Christmas stories he has written with audiences at a local pub this month.

Mike Rogers will share his stories at The Crown Inn in Keyford on Wednesday 10th December, at 7.30pm.

He said, “One story deals with the events surrounding the Nativity, but in a way which is likely to be unfamiliar. Another is linked to that fine old English Christmas tradition, the Mummers’ Play. The third takes place in a care home.

“I have chosen three stories from those I have written over the past three decades and more, which will leave you happier after you have heard them. All you have to do in response is take that happiness away with you and share it with others. "

Frome RFC 24 – 8 Swanage & Wareham

Frome RFC welcomed Swanage & Wareham RFC to The Lane on Saturday and, with the visitors sitting at the top of Counties 1 Southern South, Frome knew they would have a touch encounter ahead of them.

Frome started strongly and attacked deep into Swans half right from the kick-off.

The first scrum set the tone, with the home side dominating and with the Swans pack unable to cope, Frome were awarded a penalty. Taking a quick tap penalty and going through a string of phases, the backline released centre Cory Plumridge to bulldoze his way over for an early try, the conversion being added by full-back, Max Stickley.

  • Popular Christmas Tree Festival returns to Christ Church

A Christmas Tree Festival is returning to Christ Church from 8th to 14th December.

The church will be open from 10am until 4pm each day for visitors to wander round and enjoy the trees.

Vicar of Christ Church and St Mary’s Church, Rev Liz Dudley, said, “It’s amazing how varied the trees are. They are so cleverly decorated to reflect the aims or activities of the organisation represented.

“We are really looking forward to this and we hope lots of people drop in to enjoy it. For seven days at the darkest time of the year, the church is full of light, leading us towards the hope and joy of Christmas itself.”

  • Football stalwart honoured at special match

Local footballing stalwart Graham Clarke was celebrated for his contribution to the sport in Frome when he was invited to be an honorary mascot at a Frome Town FC game.

Graham is a well-known figure in Frome’s football history after being a key part of the town’s football community for many years, having previously managed the Frome Collegians.

He also trained footballer Tyrone Mings, who went on to play for England and now plays for Aston Villa. Graham’s dedication to the sport and to the local area was recognised when he was awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) by Her Majesty the Queen a few years ago.

To celebrate all Graham has done for football locally, Frome Town FC invited him to be an honorary mascot for the evening at the game against Larkhall. He joined local children from Frome Town United on the pitch and the crowd gave him a huge round of applause for everything he has achieved for football in Frome.

Frome Stars vs Spires

What a treat to start a game in the dry! Frome got off to a great start, taking control of the ball immediately.

Our pro holding shooting Nat held space effectively, despite working against a tall defender. Hats off to Nat for some great defensive work further up court too.

The second quarter saw some lovely defence, with Chloe making her debut for Stars as WD. GK Freya and GD Lucy fell into a nice rhythm within the D, working together to pick off overheads and rebounds.
