Drop Off and Pick Up

For anyone just dropping off and not staying, this will be done in the Owners and Trainers Car Park marked “Drop off & Pick Up” on the map. We ask that all adults return quickly to their vehicles to keep the Drop Off area as clear as possible.

At pick up time the Owners and Trainers Car Park can be used to park in, for adults to then proceed to collect their young people. When collecting your young people it is vital that you tell one of the Adult Volunteers from your group that you are collecting.
