MOSCOW UPDATE
14th July 2006
European Junior Clubs Cup – Moscow Saturday 16th
September
We have now confirmed the travelling arrangements
for the team to Moscow as follows. They will fly from Heathrow to Moscow
by BA on Thursday 14th September at 13.05. They will return
from Moscow on Sunday 17th September arriving at Heathrow at
22.10.
Accommodation will be provided in a hotel by the
Moscow organisers of the event for two nights and we have asked for the
cost of an extra night.
Everyone (team and supporters) has to have a Russian
visa and these have to be applied for at least one month in advance,
this is in addition to having a passport with at least six months left
on it after the return date. The team managers Jean and Brendan have the
necessary pre-visa forms, which must be returned by 31st July
with a copy of your passport and two passport photographs. These forms
are then sent to Moscow so that visas can be issued in London.
If supporters wish to join us on the trip then they
should consider the following:
-
They must complete a visa application and return
them to Jean or Brendan by 29th July.
-
Visas cost around £40 per person.
-
A number of flight options exist but we can only
help if you are booking the same flights as the team.
-
Idea of costs – with team subject to availability
£314.90 per person return.
-
Book individually on the internet with either BA
or Aeroflot prices from £225 per return depending on dates and
availability
-
Fly with Swissair changing in Zurich – flights
from £157
Note the airport is about 30 miles outside of Moscow
centre.
-
We
will endeavour to provide a cost for accommodation at the team hotel
but this may not be available. Moscow can be expensive, we have a
quote for the 4 star Hotel Ukraine at around £65 per person B & B
based on a 7-day stay.
-
Travel
to and from the stadium will be at your own expense.
You should therefore consider that the cost of the
trip is likely to be in the region of £500 – £600 if the team’s travel
options are followed.
If you have already have expressed an interest in the
trip please advise Jean or Brendan if you still wish to proceed as
requesting a visa will require a deposit of £40 per person, whilst
travel with the team will require payment of the air-fare in full by 2nd
August.
