Update – at the June London branch meeting it was happily announced that active member Dan Bachmann was the lucky winner of the first travel award in 2009.

Congratulations Dan – I was at the meeting and saw how surprised & happy Dan was to receive the award.

As related in the club’s members’ newsletter Globe, the award helped fund his trip, The Forgotten Tribe. In his application he said: On the far corner of Uganda there awaits a group of people who, through a twist of fate, are misunderstood and despised. I now have a chance to make contact with. I can’t think of an experience that will be so memorable.”

Next award – the closing date for the next award is 31 October 2009, so get those applications in as soon as you can !

Background – A member of Globetrotters Club and interested in winning a £1,000 travel award ? Know someone who fits these criteria ? We have up to two £1,000 awards to give out this year for the best independent travel plan, as judged by the club’s Committee.

See the legacy page on the club’s web site, where you can apply with your plans for a totally independent, travel trip and we’ll take a look at what your proposing !!
