Thanet Passport Update - 6

Dear Colleagues

This is the final Update of the term - so Merry Christmas to all our readers!

PASSPORT WEBSITE

The Thanet Passport website has undergone a revamp and is full of useful information and documentation, such as sport specific rules, template forms and all previous Updates, as well as photographs and reports of recent events. So why not check it out?

PRE-ENTRY PROTOCOL

Sadly we have had a number of schools entering events this year and then withdrawing, sometimes with very little notice. This causes a number of problems, especially if fixtures have already been sent out and medals ordered. Obviously last minute illness amongst staff or children cannot be foreseen, especially these days, although even then it doesn't hurt to think about a back-up plan if this were to happen. In order to help schools with this issue, Thanet  Passport drew up a Pre-Entry Protocol document a number of years ago. This consists of a checklist of questions to go through before signing up for one of our events. I have attached a copy for your convenience, which can also be found under the documents section on our website.
