And a good way to try & recoup the outgoings! I will look out for that too when I go.
Still mulling over the headgear. No decisions yet. Mustn't be "too big," they say:-( Well, I won't take any notice of that!!!
Apologies for delay answering this. I wanted to check this morning with our RDA chairman, who has organised our outing & has done all the bolshie pushing, shoving & finding out that she's very good at. Hence my ground level seat plus freebie...no one dares say "no" in her hearing
I suspect that some of the "official" rules specified for visitors will have to be relaxed somewhat for the para games. We have all been told that a packed lunch / tea is fine to take with us. These will necessarily include special foods for several disabled folk, so we don't anticipate any problems there. We will carry those in the soft-sided bags they advise which can be put under the seat.
It's drink that causes them problems. We are following someone's sensible idea of taking water bottles with us on the coaches. On arrival, any left-over water can be jettisoned but the empty bottle/s kept. Those can then be re-filled inside from the free water taps around (which they don't mention in the blurb). So a good cheap option unless you choose to buy other drinks in there.
She also said that when she went, there was no queue at all for the security check-- they just walked through.
Hope that's helpful.
