I founded 50 Plus Travel Club in 1999, to offer a high quality, door to door, fully escorted holiday experiences for the discerning 50 plus traveller. Holiday destinations included The Algarve, Portugal; Madeira Island, Portugal and Corfu Island, Greece. I was very proud of the high level of guest satisfaction achieved, as borne out by the testimonials below:In 2003, 50 Plus Travel Club became a subsidiary of Bill Goff Golf Tours (ATOL 4656), a 29 year old business, that at the time was the second largest Golfing Tour Operator in the UK..Celebrity Endorsement:Jimmy Greaves - TV personality & former England Football International with 57 Caps and a member of the 1966 England World Cup Winning Squad."50 Plus Travel Club are dedicated to giving the mature traveller the very best in escorted holidays"Guest Testimonials:"Thank you so much for making our holiday such a fantastic one. Looking forward to the next one" - Mr & Mrs R Hawker"We just wanted to say a very big THANK YOU. We both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and felt a sense of comradeship amongst the group, that was without doubt created by the close attention you paid to the needs of both individuals and group" - Mr & Mrs Vellam-Pitts"One advantage of this type of holiday is that you are free to go with the crowd or make alternative arrangements. Everyone I have spoken to agreed it was a great success" - Mr D Hordle"A great holiday made very special by the attention to detail of the tour managers, who were always on hand to guide and help. I made new friends and returned with many happy memories" - Mrs Pat Lewis"Just to say a very big thank you for such a wonderful holiday - it was full of fun.
