Sardinia Wine Tour
First of all , a happy new year to all U3A members “keep safe , follow the guidelines and we all might get through this”
Hopefully , we will all be vaccinated by the time we are due to travel to Sardinia in October.
Just a reminder about the the EHIC health card.
If your card is due to run out before October you will need to get a “GHIC” card which is to be issued by the British Government
If you go on the website “www.gov.uk”” you can find and fill out the necessary form to request a new card
Good luck
Regards.
George and Moe
Ps Please note that you will require to have at least 6 months left on your passport , I would suggest you have 9 months
Regards.
