Slobs and Slags

We have been going since 1985 and have met annually every year and in some years we have had a reason to meet at other times. Generally we have a date on the first Friday in December to have a drink and a general update on the activities of everyone and a gosssip.
For those that cannot make the trip to Maindenhead they can lay awake with their ears burning for the conversation is nothing but lively. This last year due to the tracking ability of the Web the numbers of members have been climbing. So book yourself some attention by registering on the members tab.

All about Tropics

A shortened version of an article Published in the 28th September issue of TRAVEL NEWS
The KLM/Leasco 'Tropics' computer booking system for inclusive tours is well established in the Netherlands.
IVAN BERENYI has spoken to Dutch tour firms and retail travel agents and he reveals a few 'home truths' from staff there on life with the Tropics. . .Holland's population and inclusive tours trade, at 13 million people and 800,000 annual bookings respectively, just about measure up to a quarter of their UK equivalents. Yet it is the Dutch who boast what is probably the most sophisticated computer based holiday reservations system in the world. Why should this be ? What is so special about the Netherlands ?What indeed are the effects when half a nation's tour operators suddenly start using a single, real-time computer system ? Does it change the pattern of agents' trade ?

Airtour/Nespanda—the first Dutch operator to 'go live' on December 1st 1972.
