To anyone out there going to Worlds.

1) you really should have additional Tournament Insurance as the majority of
travel insurance policies will not cover you for competing in a competition
and you could find yourself with a rather large bill for medical expenses.

You can get Tournament cover from a company called Extrasure who will charge
the princely sum of £19.80 for eight days cover OVER AND ABOVE REGULAR
TRAVEL INSURANCE! They have approved cover under Category A on their
Activitysure policy, if you want to contact them, call 0171 480 6871, (I
spoke to a very helpful lady called Sandy). Our policy number is
609/AC/80238 (S.E. Fergus & J.D.C. Pocklington ) (just in case that helps!)

2) Insurance Premium Tax goes up to SEVENTEEN & A HALF PER CENT on 1 August.
It is currently around 4%, so now might be the time to sort this out.

3)You need a MINIMUM of 12 months on your passport to be allowed into the
USA. You CANNOT travel to the USA on a one year temporary passport. If you
try they probably won't let you on the plane.

P.S we are not on commision!
