Friendly matches are an excellent way to combine meeting foreign opposition in a friendly relaxed atmosphere, but please make no mistake - the games are still very competitive, but with the added bonus of socialising with the team. Exciting tournaments, friendly fixtures the choice is yours and you can even include a combination of the two - it’s really up to you.

FOOTBALL ARRANGEMENTS Our tour price includes two football fixtures per club. Additional fixtures are charged at £90 per fixture in Europe, with the exception of Spain & Italy, which are charged at £100 per extra fixture. Additional transport costs may be applicable to Spain and Italy, please call our office for further information.

ACCOMMODATION We offer a superb selection of resorts across Europe ranging from 5 star holiday parks to fantastic city centre hotels.

When you have made a provisional booking over the telephone, you will be asked to send us a completed R&T Tours booking form from the centre of our brochure and A non-refundable deposit of £25 per person for UK bookings, £40 per person for Continental bookings and £120 per person in respect of flights. Your signature on the booking form confirms your acceptance of the Terms and Conditions for and on behalf of all the members of your party and the person who signs the booking form accepts responsibility for payment for all the persons in the group and is responsible for keeping all party members informed as to booking details. On receipt of your deposit, we will issue a confirmation invoice and a contract will then exist between us. Payment of a deposit to R & T Tours commits you to R & T Tours current Terms and Conditions.

DEPOSIT AGAINST DAMAGE - At least 2 weeks prior to departure we require each club to secure an amount of £250 via a nominated Credit Card as a deposit against damage caused by any member of your party during the tour. The nominated Credit Card will only be debited (up to a limit of £250 or £500 for U15’s, U16’s teams) in the event of damage or loss being reported and substantiated to us by the holiday park or hotel concerned within 3 weeks of your return.

PAYMENT - The balance of the holiday price must be paid no later than eight weeks prior to the departure date for all tours. All bookings made within eight weeks of departure must be paid in full at the time of booking. If you do not pay the full cost within eight weeks of the departure date we reserve the right to treat your booking as a cancellation and the cancellation charges below will apply. On receipt of the full balance from you, we will send you your itinerary and details of your match fixtures.

PRICE - We reserve the right to notify you of any increase in the brochure or advertised price before accepting your booking. After the confirmation invoice has been issued the price of your holiday is subject to the possibility of surcharges in limited circumstances. A surcharge will only be levied for variations in transportation costs, including the cost of fuel, increases in published air fares, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes at airports, the exchange rate applied to the particular package or if the UK or Overseas Government or Regulatory Body introduce or increase taxes. Even then, the company will absorb an amount equal to 2% of your holiday price (excluding insurance premiums and amendment charges) before passing on any surcharge to you.

Only amounts in excess of this 2% will be surcharged. Surcharges will be notified by a revised confirmation invoice which will be sent to you. If the surcharge would increase the total holiday price by 10% or more, you may cancel your booking within 14 days of the date of issue of the revised invoice and obtain a full refund of all payments made, except for any premium paid to us for holiday insurance and amendment charges. Should the above mentioned price variations be downward then the price of your holiday will be accordingly reduced and any refund due paid to you. Within 30 days of your departure date the price of your holiday will not be subject to any surcharges at all.

VARIATION & CANCELLATION BY YOU - We will make every effort to assist you if you wish to alter your arrangements. Requests for an amendment must be made in writing via our website or by post. You may have to pay an amendment charge of £50 per booking which may be charged whether or not we succeed in making your requested amendment. If the change to your booking results in the tour price being increased, you are responsible for paying the additional amount due and where you request that the number in your party be reduced, the remaining party members may have to pay additional charges such as room supplements, if applicable.All cancellations must be advised by you in writing, and signed by the signatory of the booking form.

Cancellations are effective on the day they are received by us. The following cancellation charges will be payable by you, depending upon the number of days prior to departure we receive your notice of cancellation.

Days prior to departure date More than 56 days 36-56 days 35 days or less

Percentage of cancellation charges Deposit only 50% of tour cost 100% of tour cost

Please note: For tours cancelled more than 56 days prior to departure, your full deposit will be charged, regardless of the actual amount paid. (Insurance premiums paid are not refundable but if your cancellation falls within the provisions of your travel insurance policy you may be able to make a claim).

VARIATION BY US - We are occasionally forced to make changes to your tour and reserve the right to do so.

Most changes will be minor. A significant change is one which materially alters your tour and would include, for example, a change of pick-up point, departure date or quality of accommodation. If a significant change is to be made, we will endeavour to inform you as soon as is reasonably practicable if there is time before your departure.

In the event of a significant change occurring within four weeks of your departure date, we will, if possible, offer alternative arrangements or, if these are not acceptable to you or your party, make a full refund to you. If you cancel and receive a full refund following a significant alteration made for any reason other than force majeure defined below, you will receive the following compensation calculated according to the number of days prior to departure you were notified of the change.

Days prior to Departure Date the Notification of Change was sent More than 42 days 29-42 days prior 15-28 days prior 0-14 days prior

Compensation per person £5 £10 £13 £15

Where we offer alternative accommodation, we will endeavour to provide alternative accommodation in the same area as your original tour. If the standard of accommodation is lower then the accommodation originally booked, we will refund the difference in the brochure price. If the standard of accommodation is higher, you must pay the difference. We retain absolute discretion to re-arrange match fixtures, tournament formats & football venues. In the unlikely event that due to circumstances beyond our control your teams play teams of a different age group and standard, we are not responsible. If after departure we are unable to provide a significant proportion of the services we have agreed to provide as part of your tour, we will do our very best to make suitable alternative arrangements. If we cannot do so, or you refuse to accept these for good reasons, we will arrange to fly you back to your UK departure airport (if your tour included flights) or to transport you to the point where our contract of services commenced as soon as we reasonably can.

Sorry, No Pets Allowed R&T Tours do not allow pets at any of our UK tournaments.

Although individual parks may allow private owners and other holiday makers to have pets on site, we as a company do not feel that it is a safe environment for young children if there are potentially a large number of animals at the park. It is also difficult to administer taking pets into our holiday parks as only a small number of units are considered ‘pet units’. We also do not allow dogs at the football grounds.

Amendments to your Booking Please note we are extremely flexible about making amendments to your tour. You can add or subtract people from your party, make changes to your accommodation (subject to availability), or simply change names right up to 5 weeks prior to your tour arrival date. At that point however (35 days prior to your tour) we are unable to accept ANY changes to your booking. Please understand that any decrease in your booking numbers, even if they remain higher than your original booking, will result in a cancellation fee of either deposit only or up to 100% of the tour cost, depending on when the cancellation is made. We would suggest therefore that you do not add persons to your booking unless you collect a deposit fee of £25.00 per person.

COACH DRIVERS R&T Tours will not be responsible for supplying coach drivers accommodation. It is the group leader’s responsibility to arrange accommodation for their coach driver direct with the transport supplier.

BED LINEN & TOWELS
