This letter contains the latest details for Pisa 2-4 February. Please read
it carefully. Please also keep an eye on www.fencingforum.com, that’s where I will announce any changes to
this information document. You should log in & subscribe to the Pisa thread.
If you don’t know how to do this ASK. Please, as usual, print out a copy of
this information document just before you leave & bring it with you.
We will be travelling out on Saturday 2nd
February from Gatwick North terminal leaving at 09:00, flight number BA2600.
Meet at the check-in desks at 07:15.
Please do not be late.
We will be returning on Monday 4th
February arriving at 14:00, flight number BA2601 (flight leaves Pisa at 12:50).
Please make sure you are being met or you have arranged your transport home.
When you do leave at the airport please make sure you tell me you are leaving
or have been collected.
There will be transport provided to the
hotel & we’ll be eating in the hotel Saturday & Sunday evenings.
Those of you not travelling with the
main group please make sure I have your flight times in the spreadsheet
correctly. There will be transport available but it won’t be free. Costs seem
to be variable but about 30Eu per person. Santa Maria a Monte is 25 minutes
from the railway station or airport according to the entry form (I think it takes
longer than this).

arranged a bus to take us into Pisa after lunch.
