Just a little more information for you ahead of completing the form:

This covers - transport, gifts, tour T-shirts, catering for arrival and farewell parties, referees/umpires, match day refreshments, kit which can be used for 2025 too. The total figure is subject to change and will also depend on the amount of fundraising the group can do.
