Please note; the accommodation listed is all centrally-located in each of the places we’re visiting on the Tuning Tour, with good off-street parking, and easy access to pubs, clubs and other eateries. The accommodation does not limit the number of people who can join the TT, as there are other options available at each overnight stop. However, we suggest people make their plans as early as possible to save on disappointment.
Finally; we encourage Members who can’t make the whole tour to consider just booking for a leg of the trip, or to meet up with the group at one of the points of interest for a day trip.
Please advise Alan when you’ve booked your accommodation, or contact him with any questions. You can email him at club_tuning_tour@huntermg.com.
