Proposed program for the 2023/24 season
(updated 16/09/2023)
The TPT field trip season typically runs during spring and summer, but we sometimes have other events outside this period, such as social events and workshops.
Below is a DRAFT list of some potential Field Trips planned for the coming season. These trips may change or be cancelled for various reasons such as: effects of current weather patterns; change of personnel within our partner organisations; budget re-prioritisation etc.
