    January — April 2021 Bus Book “TWENTY YEARS FROM NOW YOU WILL BE MORE DISAPPOINTED BY THE THINGS YOU DIDN’T DO THAN BY THE ONES YOU DID DO” H. JACKSON BROWN JR. Page 1 Kings Point Bus Trips Vesta partners with Glory Tours, a third party vendor, for all of our coach trips! Glory Tours has been working with Vesta in offering day/overnight trips for over 6 years as a part of the Kings Point coach trip operation. In the process of them absorbing all the coach trips, and after analyzing extensive historical data and numerous variables while planning the upcoming bus book, Glory Tours is implementing the following new processes: • For all restaurant ONLY tours, Glory Tours will no longer have a tour guide specialist onboard. The goal is to keep these trips affordable by eliminating the expense of a tour guide for these simple outings. • Glory Tours will also utilize a smaller shuttle bus for trips when it is feasible, and when we have enough residents signed up to also help avoid cancellation of a trip. • Rays Games-Glory Tours is moving designated seats to a less expensive section, but still allowing for some upgrades at an additional cost, if you choose to sit closer. This will also bring the cost down for the more expensive games that are not on Thursdays (Ray vs. Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers, etc.) Pre-register outside of the Box Office in the main lobby All ticketed tours are non-refundable. Tours go rain or shine, unless the event is cancelled by the venue/vendors due to weather conditions, etc.

    Post-Meeting Trip – SFT-09 TITLE: Stratigraphy and sequential correlations in the Lower Cretaceous around Lisbon Leaders: Jacques Rey1 & Paulo Caetano2 1 Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France 2 Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Departamento de Ciências da Terra and CICEGe For additional information please contact Paulo Caetano: [email protected] DATES: Saturday, July 06th – Sunday, July 07th (two day field trip) PRICE: 135 € Number of participants: 20 to 40 SUMMARY: During the Early Cretaceous, the Lusitanian Basin located on the Western Iberian Margin was characterized by a large variety of sedimentary deposits (siliciclastics, carbonates) and environments (from open distal platform to fluvial systems and palaeosols). It recorded the tectonic events linked to the first episodes of the northward propagation of the Atlantic opening and the cyclic variations of sea level at 2nd and 3rd order. The cliffs along the Atlantic coast near Lisbon where the sedimentary infilling is perfectly preserved will allow to analyze during this field trip the stratal, sedimentological, paleontological and geochemical patterns of depositional sequences during the interval Valanginian - Albian. The first day will be devoted to the series of the most marine environments, in the vicinity of Cascais. Deposits in more proximal situations - northward (Ericeira area) and southward (Espichel Cape) - will be observed the second day.

  • Sutton Bonington Kegworth Konnect Survey
    UoNSU Insight Team Shanai Momi (Supported by Sophie Hammond) July 2018 Sutton Bonington Kegworth Konnect Survey Introduction This report for the Guild explores the online survey conducted to find out about the accessibility, transport and healthcare at Sutton Bonington (SB) Campus. Data collection was conducted during the middle of June 2018 through 13 questions. These questions consisted of individual responses (free text comments) and multiple choice questions. The survey gathered 327 student responses, this report will not only analyse these responses, but also provide recommendations for the Guild to implement. Main Analysis Q1. Are you a student or member of the community? This first question was a quick way of discovering who was answering the survey. No one skipped this question and it was found that all 327 people were students. This is beneficial as SB students are most affected by factors relating to SB, therefore, they will have the most insight regarding these matters. However, if the Guild would like to have the opinions of the wider community members aside from students, then it would be useful to conduct an additional survey aimed at this demographic. Q2. Please tell us about your accommodation and community experiences. This question had three subparts to it. The first was to name the area which they lived in e.g. Kegworth, Nottingham or SB. The majority of respondents were living in SB (on campus). There are a substantial proportion also living in both Nottingham and Kegworth, and some lived in Grantham and Lenton. 100% of the 327 surveyed answered this question. 86.9% answered the second part of the three-part question whilst 82.3% answered the third.
