What you do now?
You may not be making your holiday plans right now, but it is a good
idea to get listed in the directory as soon as possible.See below for this year's subscription
rates and closing dates. Then you will
have what you need and be ready to go whenever you wish. You will probably
receive some offers to think about in advance.
So take these 3 steps RIGHT AWAY
1. Choose your favourite holiday destinations and
dates. Consider adding that you are open to offers anywhere at any time.
2. Fill in the Application
Form - rates at bottom of this page.
3. Send it together with your cheque and photograph.
Soon
4. You receive the directory and the "How to Arrange
an Exchange" booklet.
5. Select several offers that suit you. Then telephone,
fax, e-mail or write to as many members as possible. Off-peak times,
phoning is cheaper. Meanwhile you will be receiving letters in the post
that may tempt you to quite different places than you had planned.
6. Once you have agreed on an exchange, you write to
each other to confirm details - fill in and sign the Agreement Form.
Getting your house ready
7. Write up your "Housebook" with safety
tips, adding information or brochures on local attractions.
8. Leave
your house clean and tidy. A welcoming home-from-home is what members
want. You should clear enough cupboard space so your guests can settle
in comfortably.
9. Ask a hospitable friend to drop in and see how
your guests are doing, and perhaps invite them over.
10. Have a wonderful holiday.
