4.     Team managers meeting at 10.00 am. Officials and Volunteers briefing at 9.50am

5.     Opening Ceremony is 10.15am

7.     St John will be in attendance.

8.     Each school will receive one ‘Kit’ per team comprising a Program and a draw.

9.     The timetable for the day is a tight one – please listen carefully to the MC and have your teams ready to play.  Extra time cannot be played for late starts to games.

11.    Please encourage everyone to use the rubbish bins, and check for rubbish at the conclusion of the day.

14.   We aim to finish by 1.30pm. I am hopeful to do the certificate presentations before we go, but if we go over time, I will send the results and certificates to you all.   Please let your students know this may happen, as I know this is an important part to the day for them.

15.    Condition of Entry – that an adequate student/teacher ratio be maintained at all times

Many thanks; I look forward to seeing you all there. Thank you for making this day possible.

Have fun.
