Disneyland PARIS & Parc Astérix 201

 1.         Payments

I would like to remind parents of the agreed dates for payments (£80 instalments).

Deposit – Nov 2009 (£80)

Followed by 4 payments of £70 - January, February, March, April

(By middle of each month)

The final payment is therefore due by the middle of April.

If you have difficulty in meeting these deadlines, please contact

MLine (Tel : 01259 212802) 

2.         Passport Photographs

All pupils under the age of 16 will travel on a group passport.

To enable me to proceed with a group passport application, I now require 2 colour passport sized photographs of your child.

AS PREVIOUSLY STATED A PAYMENT OF £3 PASSPORT/ADMINISTRATION COSTS WILL BE COLLECTED AT THE FORTHCOMING PARENTS’ EVENING EARLY MAY (date to be confirmed).

NB    on the back of one photo please print the name of your child AND town of residence.

            A pro forma must also be completed for each child under 16. (See attached sheet).

It is vital that photographs and pro forma are returned by the end of the week beginning Monday 1^st March at the latest.

3.         E111

New regulations state that E111’s must be in the new format and we are therefore required to carry a EUROPEAN HEALTH INSURANCE CARD for each individual.  Please check if there is an expiry date.

What to do if you do not have one of these already:-

Please refer to attached sheet for options on how to apply. We recommend that   you do this as soon as possible as we would require these cards by the end of April.

From experience an application made on-line is much quicker-although we would remind parents that the busy season may be just commencing.
