Tour Information - Action Required...

HOVE RFC ARE GOING ON TOUR!!

All age groups from 8+ are going on tour this year, with 8-12's going to the West Coast International Festival, and 13+ to the East Coast International Festival!

Tour Dates have been confirmed as Friday 11th to Monday 14th April 2008.

There will be a 2 day International Festival of Rugby on the Saturday and Sunday, and plenty of activities other than Rugby at other times including Quad Biking, Archery, Crazy Golf, Abseiling, Snorkelling, Swimming, and a fantastic beach just a walk away. Live entertainment is also provided for both adults and kids with show bars and pubs on site!

Accommodation will be at Pontins, Brean Sands at Weston-Super-Mare in Somerset (Click here for details), and will be Friday to Sunday night inclusive.

Price is confirmed at £65 per person, to include all accommodation, all tournament entry fees, and an entertainment pass per person.

Accommodation is self catering - and so food costs will be on top of this.

EVERY CHILD must be accompanied by an adult, or you can arrange a guardian, but an adult should not be responsible for more than 2 children. Written consent for guardians will be asked for.

The club has kindly agreed to pay for all coaches to get us there and back and to ferry us around once there - this represents a substantial contribution towards the club tour!

A number of you have mentioned that coming back on the 14th may well be a problem - due to children returning to school on that day. I have enquired and there is no problem with leaving after the tournament has finished on Sunday - around 4pm. Indeed, if there are sufficient numbers across the age groups combined, it is likely that a whole coach can be arranged to take care of the early departures.

WE NOW NEED TO COMMIT to numbers - and so I need confirmation from each of you as to how many of you are going. Can you please send me a mail to neale@thethibauts.com in order to confirm your attendance and numbers. Please indicate whether you will require a place on the coach, and whether you will be staying until the Monday, or wishing to leave early on the Sunday.

WE NEED TO CONFIRM FINAL NUMBERS ASAP - so please mail me as soon as possible.

Deposits of £25 per person should be paid no later than Sunday October 21st.
