About The Club
CDC is an organisation which aims to promote & improve all aspects of coaching and tourism. The club membership consists of Coach Drivers, Coach Operators, Tour Planners, Group Organisers and Guides.
Members can enjoy the benefits of a unique 24hr – Worldwide – Group Personal Accident & Accident Medical Expenses Insurance, which covers them whether they are working or not.
Legal advice is also available to members. Members who require legal advice should contact head office as soon as possible with all the relevant details. This will then be referred to the club's solicitor who will give initial advice free of charge. In most cases all legal queries can be cleared up with one simple phone call.
Every year all CDC members receive a Yearbook, this publication is the most comprehensive directory to be found in the Coaching & Tourism World. Within its covers you will find just about everything you will need to know when touring or planning group visits.
Information includes: hotels, restaurants, theme parks, motorway services, ferry companies, theatres and airports. Essential information also included is Taking a Coach to Mainland Europe.
The majority of cities and towns across the United Kingdom are included and each entry indicates the Tourist Office telephone number, coach parks (with maps if supplied by the tourist office), coach set down & pick up points, places of interest, market days and a list of all major events for the coming year.
All new information relating to the CDC Yearbook is updated in the sister publication Coach Monthly throughout the year, as and when it happens.
Members receive 12 issues of CDC News (exclusive to CDC members) and Coach Monthly throughout the year. Members can keep in touch with Member News, Dear Zandra, Legal Jottings, Member Focus and much more. Within Coach Monthly you will find regular features relating to the many tourism opportunities that are available throughout the United Kingdom, including location maps, suggested itineraries and essential telephone numbers etc. Just about all the information you need to know can be found in these lively and informative publications.
Since our website's inception, members have found the facility very useful. 2007 will see the launch of the new and better CDC site, with member forum, events, useful links along with up to date information from CDC News. All information will be updated on a regular basis to keep you ahead of the game. New members will be able to join on line and existing members will of course be able to renew, ensuring that your membership is always up to date.
Throughout the year you will find the CDC stand at all major exhibitions where hospitality is supplied to all members, this gives you the ideal opportunity to network with other members and to meet the CDC staff.
As a result of the service given by CDC over the years and the support of all CDC members you will find that Coach Drivers, Coach Operators, Tour Planners, Group Organisers and Guides trust and rely on and are proud to belong to the Coach Drivers Club of Great Britain.
The success of the club is down to it's members, so spread the word and let's make your club the biggest and best in the Coaching and Tourism Industry.
