2000	Dublin	Highlight was the visit to Killmainen Jail and the visit to the pub opposite - called The Patriot - with a notice outside saying “for locals only” and our Most Competitive Member being lucky to escape with his life
2001	Majorca (again!)	Met up with Majorca 41 Club Highlight- the BIG storm, the number of times that some members had to change rooms when flooded out and the tree in the swimming pool
2002	Munich	Highlights were the visit to Dachau concentration camp and to the Neuschwantein castle
2003	Amsterdam	Highlights were the twice abandoned landing on the plane, the Rugby World Cup Final in an Australian Pub, the price negotiations by our esteemed Marketing Member and the way in which we were diddled by a scallywag in the station of money for the left luggage machines. Heart stopping moments all
2004	Hamburg	Coops managed to stretch his Birthday celebration to 25 hours. If anyone can remember (or guess!) which birthday it was, maybe Coops will offer a prize ....
2005	Gdansk	The 41 Club Vodka trip was ably hosted by Poland No 2 Round Table, especially "Jack". They just wondered why Shirley Table had sent their dads instead .... Much camaraderie, comments about "what goes on tour ....", and flights by Wizz Air (yes really! Check the photos in the report)
2006	Nerja	The "Nerja 12" invaded the place but it seems no one noticed. Probably a good thing ..... there was a lot about BIG hats, lots of eating and drinking (with 41 Club when is this NOT the case?!), and even some sightseeing. The main thing I (i.e. Webmaster) noticed is that at least Colin Bowater knows where his towel is .... pictures available here
2007	Riga	A successful trip via two flights (it seems) was accomplished by those who went, and the usual significant amount of alcoholic beverages were sampled ... to check for quality, of course! Report can be read here
2008	... err, see below	The Riga trip was towards the end of 2007,and the Strasbourg trip arranged within the 2008/09 year, but just happened to be planned in January 2009 ...
2009	Strasbourg	No fewer than 21 members of the Club descended on the European Parliament in Strasbourg but luckily no one noticed! They were hosted by several MEP's and treated to some of their speeches. There were some other activities undertaken, which mainly seemed to revolve around food, and possibly the odd drink ... or six! Read more here
2009	Malta	In late November (moving into the beginning of December) an intrepid group went off to meet Malta 41 Club. A great time enjoyed by all, apparently (but this webmaster has seen no report or photos as yet - maybe a case of 'what goes on tour stays on tour'?)
2010	Brasov	The International Trip this time took in the sights and sounds of another eastern European country, Romania (report and photos awaited)
2011	Algarve	This time took our International Crew to the warm sunny climes of the Algarve. Read all about it here
2012	Budapest	Nine of our Late Knights headed off for Budapest in October to discover what all the interest in this great city is. Needless to say our foreign correspondent sent back a rather mixed photographic selection. All those received by your editor are published in the report. Read all about it here
2013	Merano	This time seven of our Late Knights headed off to Merano for a look at this Italian town. Our foreign correspondent once again sent us a rather mixed photographic selection. All those received by your editor are published in the report. Read all about it here
2014	Cologne	Eleven flew to Cologne in two waves to sample German beer, eat more pork that was good for us, play some cards, “get into” a party, try out the buses and the trains go up a mountain in a cog railway and travel down the Rhine in a boat. Oh, and drink more beer. And then some more. Read all about it here
2015	Guernsey	Eight of our members flew off on the annual (Inter?)National trip in October, this time going as far as Guernsey! There was some beer drinking, a boat trip, some war history, beer drinking, a castle visit, and food! Read all about it here
