There must be at least one adult on site with the team during the fair. Team members may split up into different sessions if you prefer to do so. There will be plenty of adult supervision so the adult from the team will not have to stay with all the team members all day.
Once you have registered and paid, you will be contacted via email with more details on the fair, and with an individual schedule for each of your team members for the day. Bring this schedule with you! Your team members will go straight to their first session when they arrive. There will be no on-site registration.
