No food or fizzy drinks will be allowed in the playing hall, but please bring your own water.
The entry fee is €15 per player (€25/€35 for two/three siblings). It's possible to pay it on the day, but we prefer if fees are paid in advance whenever possible - this will speed up registration on the day. You can cancel your participation before 10:00 on the 21st of January via email to
baburin@gmail.com or text to 087-968-2378 - with a full refund.
When making a payment, please provide your child(ren)'s name(s) as reference. Please save this information for your future reference!
