Things to do: London
Things to do: Chester
Travel Insurance
Travel Consent Form (for those traveling unaccompanied by a parent or guardian)
SUGGESTED PACKING LIST

1. Check that your passport is valid and current (doesn’t expire in the next 6 months)
2. Make two copies of your passport and tuck them away safely in your luggage, just in case you lose the original
3. For those players who are traveling alone (i.e. unaccompanied by a parent or guardian), please complete the above Travel Consent Form and have that handy when you check in for your flight (again, just in case there is an issue – shouldn’t be, as you are traveling as a large group).
4. Money: We recommend that you change some dollars into pounds so that you have ready cash when you arrive in Manchester (you can do that either through your bank or at your departure airport). Thereafter you can use ATM’s or Credit Cards to purchase goods. Visa and Mastercard are accepted almost everywhere, American Express not so much.
5. Be sure to notify your bank and credit card company that you are leaving the country and traveling abroad. Otherwise your card or access to money may be frozen as a security precaution. Make sure you know your PIN
6. Have you looked into Travel Insurance? The link above gives you an option and an idea of the cost, but feel free to research any other company – the choice to take out travel insurance is entirely yours.

For all other information, please check out the Travel Tip Links above.
