We will be camping within the grounds of Alton towers theme park, and Scouts should arrive at 5:30pm on Saturday the 16th of June. ( we may not be on site until this time) The Drop off point is in the VIP car park/ Coach park, head that way and there will be someone from Alton Towers/ YFD there to direct you for dropping off, once there we will all enter the park via the '3D cinema' back entrance to set up camp. When picking up on Sunday Scouts will have to exit via the main turnstile public exit onto the entrance plaza. - any additional information will be posted to this blog 1stmelbourne.blogspot.com 

 The Lockers in the water park require 2x £1 coins, one of which is refunded, swimshorts +towel are required to enter the waterpark. 
 The following meals will be provided: Saturday Evening meal, Saturday supper, and Sunday Breakfast. To avoid paying extra for food on Sunday some food ( ie packed lunch) that will survive overnight should be provided, or some money to spend on food in the park.
  Publicity: During the event/camp Alton towers staff/YFD Staff may be taking photos and/or filming to be used in publicity/promotional material, likewise some photos may also appear on the blog, and possibly in local media.
 Pick up time will be from 5:30pm on the Sunday from the main entrance plaza, by the turnstiles. Scouts must stay within the designated camping area while in the theme park, any one found to be outside this area/causing a nuisance may be ejected form the theme park by Alton towers security staff and parents will then have to collect them. 
 Medication - if any Scouts require medication information about this should be placed on the form, and kept with the Scouts possessions, the CHS will be accessible during the event for kit storage. Important any changes to the plan will be posted on the Scout blog at http://www.1stmelbourne.blogspot.com please check this before you go, and before you pick up, as some details may change.
