Hi all,
We have now received notification of tickets for the Junior League Northern Final (albeit very late), and a bus for parent transportation has been arranged.
There will be 53 tickets available for the Northern Junior League Final. Each ticket will include a seat on the coach to and from the event in Grantham and will cost £10.00 per person.
Each child will automatically be reserved 1 ticket per parent at the cost above. Should you require more tickets for additional family members, these will go in to a draw on Thursday evening.
The bus will leave John Charles at 11:30am on Sunday 2nd October. Please arrive at John Charles for no later than 11:15am. Warm-up for the swimmers at the event will commence at 2:00pm, with the event beginning at 2:30pm. These events usually last 3 hours. Therefore we will expect to leave the venue at about 6:00pm, arriving back in Leeds around 7:45pm – 8:00pm.
Please note that all selected team members will be expected to travel to and from the event as part of the team and in City of Leeds Swimming Club kit.
I recommend that all swimmers eat well as a brunch before leaving home to arrive for the bus. Then we can top up on arrival in Grantham with snacks in the form of sandwiches, fruit etc. I also suggest you keep some additional food to give your children after the event as it is quite late when we arrive back. Please moderate the amount of snacks the children have on poolside during the competition but over-indulge the amount they have to drink. All swimmers should have a large drinks bottle on their person at all times and be drinking regularly throughout the meet. A 50/50 balance of juice and pure water is recommended by nutritionists.
Ensure swimmers have a spare hat, goggles, costume, T-shirt (club) and in some cases towels (as things often get wet at these meets).
