2012 was a busy year for Borderhoppa. In April we became a flexibly routed service, this meant that anyone, any age could now use our service, not just our members.
Also, Norfolk County Council joined Suffolk County Council in allowing free transport on our buses for concessionary pass holders after 9.30am.
On Mondays throughout the year, we’ve continued to run regular outings. These are for members only but membership is free; you just pay for the outings. Members have enjoyed visiting towns & cities for shopping, trips to the seaside, boat trips, pub lunches & visits to local gardens & garden centres.
In the Autumn, Borderhoppa launched a ‘new bus club’ which is a lottery open to everyone to help raise funds for a much needed new bus (although due to the weather recently we’d be better buying a boat!) It also gives people a chance to win a share of the funds each month for just £2 a number. This has proved to be very popular & the first lottery draw in Decembers saw prizes of £57.50, 2 x £23 & £11.50 being won.
If you would like to book a journey for shopping, doctors, hairdressers etc, become a member to enjoy our outings, book a place on an outing, hire one of our buses or take part in our monthly bus lottery, then please call: 01379 854800 between 8.30am – 5.00pm Mon – Fri.
