What is the Globetrotters Club?
We are a travel club and a not for profit organisation, run by volunteers. The aim behind Globetrotters is to provide a way for like minded people to meet or communicate to exchange ideas, information and experiences.
A key feature to the club is that all Globetrotter members have the opportunity of being listed in the annual membership listing.
This allows Globetrotter members to indicate whether they can offer fellow Globetrotters hospitality in their locality, or offer to show visitors around and some are willing to answer questions about their area.
The club is aimed at independent travellers and is not allied to any commercial enterprise and does not act as a travel agent.
Moreover, the Globetrotters club does not issue the membership list to anyone who is not a member of the club, nor is the listing to be used for commercial gain.
As a member you will receive:
Globe Magazine
Globe is an info-packed newsletter with travelogues by members, book reviews, travel tips, bargains and news. There is a mutual aid section where you can exchange information; place advertisements and find travel companions.
Emphasis is placed on the unusual and the opportunity to see places and meet people not given to the usual tourist. Methods of cheap travel and trips off the beaten track, as well as on well-travelled routes, are given prominence.
Club meetings, travel shows and other travel events are also listed.
Shared Information
The club enables its members to make contact with other members who have visited their intended destination. Globetrotters get a unique insight and experience, which would not be available from a travel agent or guide book. Swapping information works both ways and your contribution could make someone else's trip special
Meetings
Meetings give you the chance to share your travel interests with other like-minded people. Members are encouraged to form their own local groups and our meetings organisers are happy to give advise and assistance, so if you cannot get to a local meeting~ why not start your own?
The Membership List
The list is updated annually from the information given on application and renewal forms.
The membership list gives details of members; ability to give advice on their country/area; willingness to show you around their locality; willingness to offer accommodation for a night or two.
Globe will keep you informed of the venues
