Do the beavers need to wear uniform for the event?
No, it's not a requirement, but if you as the colony leaders decide that you would like your beavers to wear uniform or neckers at the event, then that's fine too.

Is it OK for parents to come and help if we need additional adults on the day?
Of course - who knows, if they like it enough, they might sign up as full leaders :)
You do need to make sure that all safe guarding procedures are followed though, like with any other event.

Why can't we book a number of places when we make our group booking?
We've designed the booking procedure this way to try and be as fair as we can to everyone. THe event has not run for a number of years (we all know why) and from the canvasing we've done, it seems that it will be very popular. Our experience is that although section leaders are good at predicting how many spots they might need on a particular event like this, that numbers almost always reduce nearer the event - reducing your numbers by 1 or 2 might not seem much, but if every group does this, then we've all of a sudden got enough spaces for 2-3 more colonies to take part.

We do appreciate that new members join all the time - for this reason, you can add more names (and make additional payments) at any time so long as there are still spaces at the event.

When are payments due by?
Payments for participants are due within 21 days of creating the participant places. The Payment Schedule section within your booking shows what amounts are due and by when. All payments must be in by 1st June, latest.
