ADVICE
Unless you are already confident with the park layout, organise yourself into groups to reduce the risk of getting lost. Feel free to ask a committee member for help in finding a group.
Use the written map and information given to you at the start of the trip to organise your day and ensure you leave with plenty of time to catch the coach back.
Don't bring anything too heavy around the park with you, this is likely to get uncomfortable throughout the day; use the coach to store any heavy items that you may not need throughout the park.
Bring any essential medication and inform a committee member of any medical conditions that may affect your day.
CONTACT
If you have any questions or concerns throughout the day, please contact a member of the committee; we will provide you with our contact details. In the event of an emergency, contact emergency services if necessary and then a member of the committee as soon as possible. First aid is located near to the entrance plaza.
