If you have a place on the team but are NOT able to compete, please let Andy Scrase know ASAP.

We are travelling up by coach the day before. Athletes can either board from Salisbury on Friday 13th march at 2.30, or from the Swindon Orbital outside M&S at 3.45. We will stop to have a meal on the way up to stay at Liverpool Roby Premier Inn for the night. For parents also travelling up on Friday night we would ask you not to book at the same place for safeguarding reasons. Please remember to bring money for your evening meal and extra for snacks as necessary for Saturday.

The weather can be changeable, very wet and cold so please ensure that you have brought plenty of warm clothing, and changes of footwear, with bags for all wet kit.
