Trip agenda

From VOCWiki

Note: This page lists upcoming VOC trips. If you want to do a trip on a particular day and nothing is listed here (or you don't like it), see the Trip Ideas page for lots of good information on planning trips. Also, everyone should be aware of the trip guidelines.

Less formal trips may be organized through the Trip Planning Forum on the VOC message board rather than on the wiki. If you are organizing such a trip, it's a good idea to post a link from this page to the thread in the trip planning forum.
