Key Details:

Destination:
Holland Cup Tournament, Almere, Netherlands

Key notes:
1 parent/Guardian must be in attendance with their own child unless FOF are told otherwise. E.g - you may have 2 friends that you’ve agreed will be under the supervision of an agreed adult. This will be required in writing to FOF.

The price of £420 pp is dependent on us raising a minimum of 150 people and paying deposits before 31st October. FOFFC will not be able to take any responsibility for a change in price if the above is not met. Arranging this trip is of course a big task, the situation and numbers are moving all of the time so we would appreciate your understanding in this moving situation. If for any reason the trip price changes, you will of course be informed with the option of a refund. As it stands we have the trip on the price stated.

Team expectations from parents? The answer here is…Please don’t have any! This is first and foremost about ensuring the players who have signed up to go to holland - go to holland! Our players having a great experience and playing against teams from Europe is our priority. FOF will pull together teams as close as possible to current FOFFC teams that’s the easiest and fairest way - this is of course dependant on who’s attending the trip. Teams may have a handful of players playing up or coming from JPL teams to make up squad numbers. The alternative is a team may not be able to go.

There is an opportunity for a few more players to come on board after the 31st October and if required we will advertise. These new additions will however most likely pay the non discounted rate of £480 pp.

Costs:
We’ve managed to get the cost down to £420pp providing all deposits (£50) are in by the 26th October. That’s nearly £80 cheaper pp than we originally thought. This was switching to a different campsite which looks just as amazing

Accommodation Details:
Prices are based on 4 and 6 berth lodges.
Groups of 2 or 3 people will be required to share accommodation (we will do our best to place families together where requested).

If you prefer your own private lodge, an empty bed supplement of £189 per unfilled bed will apply.
Example: If your group has 3 people and you want a private 4-berth lodge, you would need to pay for all 4 spaces.

If you are a pair or trio and are happy to share, we recommend you arrange who you would like to share with-our aim is to fill each lodge fully to avoid supplements.

Meal Option:
An optional Half Board meal plan (breakfast and dinner) is available at £64 per person for 3 nights.

Travel Information:

Leaving Friday 3rd April - time TBC
Luxury coach travel and Dover–Calais ferry crossing are included.
The coach will remain with our group throughout the trip, providing transport to and from the tournament each day.
