REMARKS :

- For journeys to the UK, you must have a valid ID or passport
- E111 form from your insurance company
- Minors should have an authorisation for leaving their country

- Entrance fee for UK meetings is between £15 and £25: change is not very attractive aboard ferries, so take coins before taking the bus ;-)
- If you are not that happy with english food, you may take yours with you (but do not forget you will have to carry it until you have eaten everything :-)
- Check your camera before leaving, take proof of purchase of your hardware (caution with "sensitive" customs...), do not forget to take enough films... and spare batteries (in a meeting, you will only find batteries for cameras other than yours!)

- Most of the meetings will take place when it is sunny and hot : do not forget to take a hat or bob, sunglasses, sun care creams and water enough. Do not hesitate to take a pull-over with you (for the Channel part of the trip) and something against the rain.

- AFAM WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ROBBERY OR DETERIORATION MATTERS

- AFAM WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DELAYED BUSES OR FERRIES

- There are WCs in the buses, but they will not be opened to you during the journeys. Do not hesitate to use the ones on the ferry or before going into the bus.

- Payment of the trip has to be made before going into the bus.
